[quote=Anonymous]I have two girls, 6 + 8. Right now they tell me everything and are super close to me....they are both very confident and have lots of friends but I feel like things are 100% honest and supportive. However, I remember basically being afraid to tell my own mom things (bad grade, kid was bullying me, etc.) starting around 8 so that's why I'm thinking of it now. Things are only going to get harder for them ages 10-18. By 12 I was barely confiding in my parents about anything. I just don't want that for my girls. Part of that was really high expectations and cultural differences (we're Asian-American) but part of it was definitely how my parents responded when I did have an issue (I cannot pinpoint what they did wrong but it was inadequate). So for those of you who have good relationships with your tween/teen daughters what did you do? Or those of you who remember having good honest relationships with your own parents, what did your parents do? [/quote]
