[quote=Anonymous]I would advise you and your husband to sit her down and talk to her about what you have found. Tell her how disappointed you are that she went behind your back and did something that you had expressly prohibited her from doing. That she has lost your trust and that it is going to take some time to rebuild it. Then tell her that you love her and that whether she likes it or not, you all get to set the guidelines/rules for the household until she is an adult. Tell her your reasons for not allowing her to have an IG account...again. Talk to her about when you might be willing to revisit the idea of IG when she is older...perhaps 15, 16...whatever you decide. But you need to emphasize how disappointed you both are in this decision that she made. You should make her delete it immediately and you need to let her know that you might be spot checking her phone for some time. Lastly, decide what you both think is a fair punishment for her betraying your trust. That is the real issue here. You want her to be able to come talk to you and tell you the truth about where she is going *(as she gets older) and what she is doing. She needs to understand that having an IG account when you prohibited it is a problem, but the real problem is breaking trust with you all. As upset as you are right now, this could actually be a good thing (okay, maybe I am reaching here). She is still young and you have a great opportunity to talk to her about the family dynamics and the importance of being able to trust her. Good luck![/quote]
