[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of rules, try collaborating with her in expectations, goals, responsibilities and rights. Tell her this is new situation for all if you, what will make it successful? Compare your hopes and expectations with hers. Give her some autonomy in creating these. Start from a position of mutual trust. Yes, I've been through this. Communicate family rules, most important goals (homework, safe behavior, good communication, respect), but also privileges (car , freedom to make her own plans with friends, her choices with clothes, etc). [/quote] Great suggestions.[/quote]
