[quote=Anonymous]Looking for some guidance, just feel like my relationship with my daughter (9) hasn't been the best of late. I want to re-set my parenting button with regards to our day-to-day interactions (me: too much micro-management, too much yelling, too much criticism) and establish some healthier ways to address and improve things for the longer haul. She is a great kid, very bright and smart, and has good friendships with her peers - but lately has been smart alecky, with lots of eye rolls and attitude etc. Getting her to follow through on the basics (making the bed, handing in homework, staying on task at school) has been nearly impossible, never mind the bigger stuff... Its been a long time since she and I have had a good stretch without devolving into some sort of criticism or admonishment from me. I am trying to be a good Mom, but I feel like I am failing her and not building her confidence nor her trust. Thanks in advance, and please no snark.[/quote]
