[quote=Anonymous]No one has mentioned that OP should also be trying to find ways to connect with her teen and have bonding moments. I feel for you because just yesterday me and my 8 year old dd had a bit of a match over the tv remote. When that happens, I pull the power cord out of the wall, and I have also taken the tv and put it in the basement. My dh said his dad did that with his stereo when he was a teen. Seemed like a good idea in the moment. So anyway, sometimes I try to find good things to say about/to my dd's, and I try to remember to randomly give them hugs and tell them I love them. I find especially with my 8 year old that I feel like I am constantly telling her to stop this or that or criticizing her because she is often trying to hurt her older sister. It helps all of us for me to catch her being good and connecting with her. In my dd's case, I know some of her behavior is attention seeking. [/quote]
