I always assumed that, as my daughter got older, she would want to spend more time with her friends and by herself and less time with her parents. That\u2019s what is supposed to happen during the teen years, right? Apparently not. Maybe you will find some positive parenting tips through the experience with our daughter.<\/p>\n

We eat together, talk together, and sit together as we both work on our own tasks. Something was lacking though.<\/p>\n
We made a major change this school year. I used to be fully involved in her education from choosing the curriculum to setting the schedule.
