[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 278672, member: 3444"] I think the best thing you can do is to just be there to listen to her when she's upset, and keep your eyes and ears open for anything out of the ordinary. It's a phase we all go through, but knowing we have a parent who's there to be supportive can help ease some of the drama, I think, and help them keep perspective and maintain a positive self esteem. I agree that trying to squash the feelings is useless, and may backfire (it did with me and my overly strict parents). I don't envy this time you are going through! My easy child is 10 and I do NOT look forward to the teen years with her! [/QUOTE]
