[quote=Anonymous]Silent treatment is a childish response. Ask yourself why you can't have a conversation with your child. Have you ever been able to have a mutually respectful conversation with them?

I would also want to know why they are angry. Have you asked them and actually listened to the response? Resolving a conflict with another adult starts with understanding what the conflict is. It is not clear that you know, or care, what the issue is.

It's always okay to set boundaries, however. If you daughter is yelling at you or being abusive, you can let her know that you will not accept that treatment. If she is living with you, it's okay to tell an adult that if they want to continue living with you, they will need to speak respectfully to you. However, your daughter is entitled to the same thing. Do you ever yell, shout, express anger non-verbal, slam doors, etc.? If so, you need to find a way to stop or you really have no right to complain about her behavior towards you. Children often mirror their parents.[/quote]
