Hi, my daughter is behaving terribly. She uses any excuse not to do what I have told her. Her room is a mess and she refuses to tide it up. If I ask her to do some chores, she starts yelling how I treat her as a slave. I can not put up with this behavior any longer. I have no idea where have I gone wrong with her upbringing because I was always very strict and she knew what were the limits of acceptable behavior. Can you please tell me what could have caused these behavior problems? How can I discipline my thirteen years old daughter?

Hi, your daughter is just entering her teen years. This can be a very stressful period for the both of you. She considers her room her private place and when you order her to clean it up you are invading her privacy. You should start treating her more as an adult than a child. In fact, ordering her to do something will only create an opposite reaction from the one you are expecting. The best thing you can do to stop her from behaving the way you explained is to talk to her. Try explaining why it is important for her to keep her room clean. When it comes to chores ask her what does she want to do and don't order her. Negotiation is the best method to reason with her and to solve these behavior problems. You will see that she will react to reason and facts much better than to orders and punishment.

Teens now a days only care about what they want to care about such as, boys, and anything Electronic...the first thing I would do is take away her phone...if there is an approvement give back the phone...teach her obidence ..if she acts out after removable of phone then take away computer..keep taking as she acts up. If she wants them back she has to Earn them back.

LOL YEAH, THIS IS WHY KIDS DO WHAT THEY WANT CAUSE U WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH THEM.. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATION ....SHE MISBEHAVED SO TEACH HER THE CONSQUINCES OTHER WISE SHE WILL KNOW SHE CAN GET BY WITH ANYTHING. DONT ALLOW HER TO KNOW YOUR A PUSH OVER. GOOD LUCK IF SHE STRAIGHTENS HER ACT OUT GIVE BACK ELECTRONICS BUT MAKE HER EARN THEM BACK.
