[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 643817, member: 1550"] Jumper used to tell my everything. EVERYTHING. That stopped at about sixteen and by her senior year she kept things pretty much to herself. If she reaches out to us for support SHE REALLY NEEDS IT and we take it very seriously. Since she has never made dumb, teen decisions, we just let her go her way. She doesn't know we are standing behind her in case we need to catch her. By far, she was the easiest child to raise. But when she leaped from telling me everything to keeping things to herself, it took a while to get used to it. We got most of our info from her friends. Since there has never been anything she's said or done that we have found out is a lie or is alarming, we just let her go her own way her senior year of high school. Some kids are not quite that independent then. But I really think we can take our cue from them. [/QUOTE]
