[quote=Anonymous]Tell it like it is. She needs you to lay down the line. among other things, who does she think will pay for the fillings? I would bring it up not in the moment but on a car ride or someplace where it can be a longer convo. You can even say, "You're so internally motivated and so good at following up on things, and I know that you just want to grab the sweet and carby stuff, but it's hard on your teeth, and down the line, that can result in expensive and painful work that you could avoid if you made different choices now. Can we talk about setting up some general guidelines?" Just because teens snap back doesn't mean they don't know you're right. It may be that she's embarrassed because she's not able to control this one as easily as she can study for a test and get a good grade on it. [/quote]
