[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 400046, member: 1991"] HaoZi, I suspect that worked for you and your daughter, because you had previously agreed, both of you, to do things that way. That is what I was trying to say - discuss, use logic, find some ground for consensus. I remember easy child being invited to a friend's birthday party sleepover when she was 12 and asking me expressly to forbid her to go. While she wanted to go to the party, she did not want to sleep over because there would be boys there. She also got very anxious and needed to know ahead of time that the evening would have an end that she could look forward to, even though she was enjoying herself. So I helped her out - I forbade her to sleep over, but I let her go to the party until 10 pm. She was satisfied with this, then went off to telephone her friend and give her the 'bad' news...
