[quote=Anonymous]I think you all aren't being strict enough. You can be strict and still loving! Like bed by 9pm, with laptop downstairs. Kick her off the wifi if that's the issue. Chores need to be MANDATORY. 13 year olds should be able to do every chore in the house. Pick one and make her do it. If she doesn't, she'd start to lose privileges (wifi, toys, items in her room, outings). I think the big issue is that she's overtired which is setting her up for failure at school, which snowballs. Do not make this into a power struggle, tell her maybe twice to do something and then consequences happen. My sibling lost the door to her bedroom because she was slamming it and hiding phone usage after bed. It sounds mean, but it never happened again. I know boys who lost possessions in their room and only got a bed and dresser left. Kids like to know where the boundaries for bad behavior are. [/quote]
