Dealing With Your Children’s Choice of Friends
Monday, January 23rd, 2012Don’t Like Friends
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010I don’t like my daughter’s friend. Should I tell her or forbid her from spending time with this friend?
What most parents do not realize is that their intelligent teens know when mom or dad disapproves of a friend. And while your daughter does care what you think, she will often ignore your feelings in pursuit of her independence. This leaves you wondering why your previously intelligent child would spend time with “that kid.”
