[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going thru this with my 15 year old son. god help us.[/quote] 15 was awful!!! That was last year, when we wondered if college was in his future, or maybe jail. This year he's wonderful, full of hugs. Right now he's in the room next door studying for one of his four AP classes, he's pulling almost straight As and he has plans for getting everything up to all As by the end of the quarter. I'm not making this up. DH and I joke that Martians invaded him and our real son is on a remote island somewhere--or maybe the Martians were last year. OP, the advice to apologize was great advice. We screamed back at DS last year, and then we apologized. You may not have seen a visible reaction from your daughter, but she did clock it. You have the satisfaction of knowing you did the right thing, and you modeled it for her, and that the lesson will stick. Rising above the insanity is almost as satisfying as taking away the cellphone, which we did too.[/quote]
