[quote=Anonymous]She’s a teen and lacks the brain development to modulate how she feels. So it really feels that way to her and she feels safe expressing that to you, which I guess is a plus. I would have been terrified to say that to either of my parents —they would have beat me pretty severely. You can ask her why she thinks that, but...don’t ask her while she’s in the middle of an emotional storm. She can’t reason then. She’s all feeling and no logic. But if you ask her when she calms down, you still might not get an answer that makes sense to you, with your fully-developed brain. For many, many brain-based reasons, if the consequences involve taking a smartphone, computer, tablet, etc., an adolescent is going to have a stronger reaction than if the had a different consequence.
