[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 95176, member: 1233"] Hon, use the laptop or your own computer and go to [url="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]http://www.loveandlogic.com[/url] Listen to the free audio downloads, go through the site, the parent's stuff, the teacher stuff, ALL of it. by the way, after spending a solid week of being told I was "yelling" at my son every time he didn't like what I said or how I said it, I greeted him at the top of my lungs. Everything I said was at the top of my lungs for about an hour. Then he had a period to think, independently. Then he got the offer to have rational communication and not let me hear the "you always yell" thing, or be YELLED AT. This was done with the utmost encouragement from our tdocs, (his, mine, the other kids' and the family one!!). Maybe getting to see what being yelled at is like (you say you can't even remember when you actually raised your voice to her) you can let her know she is to cease and desist this behavior. YOU get to set some rules. YOU. YOU. YOU. NOT your laptop owning 12yo. TAKE THE LAPTOP. How can you provide adequate supervision on a laptop? Most recomendations I have seen are to have children (yes, 12 is a child) still be supervised while on the computer. At the very least, make sure her wireless hook up is in a main room, where she cannot hide the screen from YOU and YOUR supervision. If after a while she treats you respectfully, and without the negativity, then let her USE the laptop. The computer makes the world a big scary place. And our kids can hack around a LOT because that is what THEY learn from friends. Take care, Susie [/QUOTE]
