[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The minute she starts disrespecting you, tell her you won't listen to it and leave the room. Lather, rinse, repeat. Find a counselor.[/quote]

The counselor is for you. Hopefully, through counseling, you can learn to take charge of the situation. Your DD is doing this in part because she can and in part because you allow it to happen with no consequences. I have a 13 yr old son who is bigger than me. When I feel really disrespected, all it takes is me standing up and getting in his space while he's going off to make him realize his error. He always backs away. I often just have to make eye contact, tell him to listen to himself, and ask him if there is a problem. I'm more than willing to listen, but tone and how things are said are important to me. I also remind him to not say things that he will likely regret.

Kid won't relinquish phone? Just checked T-mobile: you can do a temp suspension on a phone. You can block their device on the Verizon FIOS app. But, in reality, I can't imagine my kids not giving me their device when I tell them too.[/quote]
