[QUOTE="busywend, post: 127112, member: 391"] Jennifer, I have so been there done that! Mine was 13 at the time. We had some battles. The straw was her coming after me with a hammer - just making the motion as if she were going to hit me, although she did not get close enough to actually make contact. Anyway, I think you are right to have her go to her room for some calming moments. Be sure you let her know you are trying to help her be more self aware. Part of being independent and being an adult is being self aware, blah, blah, helps with driving, blah,blah, etc. You get the point - make her feel like you are helping her with her independence. That is what she wants, right? Turn it around to be all for her...that is all they care about at this age anyway....themselves.... Nothing is about you. Do not take it personally. Just a couple survival tips from a mom of a teen. [/QUOTE]
