[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 91387, member: 3626"] I think you're doing the right things for her age and maturity level. It really is hard to have a young woman's body on a young teen. There is a lot of confusion and conflict. Be prepared that what you consider modest and what is considered modest in today's fashion world are planets apart. It really is the style to have straps showing (the more the merrier). Short is in. As to football, I'd say let her play as long as she wants to. kt's vocal enough to let you know when she's ready to quit. Don't make this decision for her, just let her know you'll be behind whatever she decides is right for her. With my daughter, I would point out whenever I saw something positive on TV regarding gender/dating issues. I'd things like, "I'm sure glad that girl isn't letting that boy walk all over her." and the like. Sometimes it would lead to discussions, sometimes a wall of silence. Either way, I do believe it helped her see that she didn't have to do things she didn't want to do. It seems to have worked so far. Oh, and GO KT GO!! Hope you succeed in no temper tantrums. Remind her that if she blows it, there's always tomorrow as a day to start over. [/QUOTE]
