[quote=Anonymous]I'd start with the rules and expectations on her shorter visits NOW. So it can be a subtle shift before next summer. No need to announce "new rules" just do some gentle correcting when she runs astray on her weekend visits. So, tighten up the ship now with your expectations. Think of every visit as a mini-trial run. Start veering towards where you want to be. The car should also be a big motivator. I knew as a teen that anything I did wrong would result in me losing the keys and taking the bus/walking everywhere. So no speeding etc where big rules for me.[/quote]
