What should I say to my daughter?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:What is your goal? Are you wanting her to feel okay to share with you about her relationships, or are you mainly just wanting to keep her behaviors “in bounds”? I was going to suggest bringing up relevant topics in the abstract and asking her what her opinions are, but from your first paragraph that kind of already happened. Perhaps she was testing the waters with you by floating a balloon to see how you’d respond. Do you think you met the threshold? In the future, I would maybe try to have these abstract conversations again, but do more listening about her attitudes and offer relatively little about your own position. That might encourage her to open up. I’m not a parent, by the way, so take that with a grain of salt.
