[quote=Anonymous]First, I want to tell you how great it is that you are doing this for your younger sister.  You are awesome! It does sound like you need to become an authority figure, and not just a sister to her. Rules have to be there. For example, my DS is 18 and done with high school just last week, I don't enforce any rules apart from respect with him, right now, but I still remind him that he has sport's practice tomorrow and to make the right decision. He isn't a rule breaker anyway, so being strict would be some power trip on my part. With my DD, 15,(more of a "testing how far I can go," I enforce bed time, 10pm, during the school year, not going out after certain hour, everything has to be approved by me, yes, even going to nearby Chipotle. If she is particularly difficult, phone is taken away, lap top too. I know you are trying to be nice and kind, but teens test the limits non stop, a good balance between strict and permissive and loving is needed. Good luck! And read the "yes, your teen is crazy," it is a life saver.[/quote]
