[quote=Anonymous]You have gotten great advice here. I think you are struggling to find the balance between helping your daughter and being close to your daughter, these things are sometimes mutually exclusive. One thing I can tell you for sure is that if you work on the bond then the other stuff will fall into place. She is much more likely to brainstorm ideas with you if she feels close to you and also far more likely to do the opposite of what you advise if she feels distant from you (power struggle). Let go of feeling that you can help her by giving her advice, you can help her by letting her feel safe in coming to you. And by "safe" I mean not judged.[/quote]
