Is Your Daughter Telling YOU What To Do
This is great, thank you.
If you don’t allow sex at least let them watch porn.
There is not bridging the teen distance if they are in the wrong friends group!!!
What if your child is doing things that aren't good. Am i supposed to accept that?
My daughter is ony10years old..but physically matured...I am already struggling to raise her...she is to defensive,,doesn't want to be corrected... I'm afraid this tit for tat exchange of words will drive us apart..
I'm a k-2 teacher. My school closed at the end of the year with no forewarning. I took a 5th grade teaching position at a new school as a last resort and....🤯. The culture shock is R.E.AL. Those few years make a world of a difference! So, now I'm watching UA-cam videos on how to help these little humans deal with almost middle school life, unstable emotions, hormones changing, and other ups and downs that come along with being 10/11. I need to get to know developmentally where they are and the best approaches to reach them. Wish me luck 🤞🏾
My girl will turn 13 in Dezember. Her mom and i broke up when she was still pregnant with her. We allways had a good relationship, thank god, and i could see my girl when ever i wanted. Since the age 4 i had her every 2nd weekend. There were times when i couldent take her but the contact was allways there. I was there when had her first school day. But there are alot of things that i missed. And now shes a young teenager and she is starting to distance herself from me. She doesent want to visit ( i have to say though, that i only have a 1 bedroom flat and she has to share a room with me, so she has hardly any privacy when she is here) and she doesnt want to talk to me on the phone. I text her everyday , tell her nearly everyday how much i love her, and a part of me thinks im over doing it. Can showing to much love push her away because it freaks her out maybe? Im missing so much of her teenage years that i think we are becoming strangers...
I am about to go through this soon next week I don’t know how I will live with out her I am so heart broke I am single Mom 😥😥
What about boys? Does it matter for them or is just girls!?
Amen
I'll try it. My eleven year old has turned into Wednesday from the Adams family overnight 😮

I've always had a great relationship with my daughter. All through high school we got a long great for the most part. Had a very open and honest relationship. She would even talk to me about boys she liked and her friend drama. She was very hard working, had a job all through high school and helped around the house without having to ask her to. She graduated high school with 3.8 GPA. Then she went off to college, she wanted to wait to get a job until she was settled in, which her mother and I agreed with. Her first semester went by and she did awesome, had a 4.0 GPA. Then the second semester started and she fell off a cliff. She stopped talking to us, stopped coming home, was very moody, her grades went into the dumpster. We tried having conversations about it and she would just get angry. I literally asked her if she was on drugs. She has been home now for the summer and just isn't the same person she was when she left for college. Doesn't have job still, sleeps till noon, has a constant attitude, refuses to help around the house...i just don't know what to do with her. I'm trying to be patient with her but it she isn't making it easy. She has made her mother cry several times and when things don't go the way she likes she has threatened to move out. And I mean she's getting upset and threating to move out over the dumbest things, like we just want to know were she's at and when she'll be home. It got so bad one day (she was threating to move out) that i told her to pack her stuff, leave her phone, car keys, gas card and credit card on the counter and get out. Told her I'm tired of her threats and kicking her out. She started crying and said we don't love her and we don't care about her, i told her to stop being manipulative and grow up. This was a couple months ago and of course she still lives at home. She is starting her second her of college soon and just hope this is a phase she is going through.
Parents have so much more to worry about regarding teens, especially daughters it's insane. i honestly feel that a law should be passed banning all internet access to minors. The only access needed is education and those can be uploaded to a portal system via password.
Why do i feel like a lot of these relationship's are missing a strong, confident, compassionate, listening & capable HUSBAND & Father figure within the home? Just because a man is physically present, doesn't mean he's doing his full job. I feel sorry for many of these mom's & daughter's. Most modern Public school's definitely don't help either.
Thank you so much. It is helpful❤
Yes," how was your day today" when you build a bond with your children right from childhood they tell you everything and any thing.. Giving them a hug every now and then helps too
totally agree! 🙌
A cell phone should not be an obstacle to communicating with your teenager. Boundaries are so important with the phone. in addition to what she says in the video about not being on the phone during short car rides, same applies when having a meal with the family or another predetermined time at home that can be made into a "no phone" time
You can find excuses for lying til the cows come home. Emd of the day lying is a huge problem and they only do it because it works.
So nicely explained .. thanks Barb ❤
Invaluable tips Barb . Thank you so much !!
🙌thank you!
What do you do if your teen wont let you talk to them in any form.
My angery teen is less abusive to me if i dont pay attention to her.she dosnt want me near her..now im just anxious to interact with her.
What do you do if they truley hate you because they dont agree with your life choices, personality. Your friends ect...it feels like she jsut wants to judge chrittersise me and she wants to live with her dad(but thats not a possibility)
❤
My 11 ur old granddaughter is dressed inappropriately by her mother. She cant wear short shorts on the street with me anymore because grown men are looking at her
That's a grown man problem not your grandaughters.problem. the issue is the men looking hopefully your calling these men out not telling your granddaughter off
what advise do you have for 13 yr old daughter who is snarky and mean spirited ( like tesing her mom) and she says this is how she shows affection ????
So basically she is acting like a 13 yr old girl?
A Lively video🙌 Btw I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, While watching I noticed a few opportunities to improve the video, I've prepared a short video outlining some tips. Mind if I sent it over?
Awesome tips! I really like the idea to ask about any funny things that happened in the day! Gold!🎉
Great! Let me know how it goes!😀
This is what i needed to hear- my daughter is often disrespectful, does not do as she is tall in terms of picking up after herself in the house. And then I get so angry and withdraw love. Of course she feels This, and Ava will say, I know you hate me, which of course I tell her I don’t and go onto explain to her that I want her to be more respectful. It’s a really hard, I wish she was an easier person…… I do like how you explained this. And I think that is the case with her and with me.😥
I’m sorry that you and Ava have had a rough go of it for sometime. I hope this video is a first step in turning things around with her.
Can you post your links?

this is wonderful..thank you Barb!
You are so very welcome, Iris! So glad it was helpful!
Help I feel like I never knew my daughter and I am grieving the loss
I’m so sorry for your pain. I would be happy to help you heal your grief and possibly create a new, closer relationship with your daughter. Feel free to reach out on my website for a parent coaching session: barbsteinberg.com hang in there.
My 17 year old who we seemed to have a close relationship just suddenly left home and won't talk to me simply because I shared my disappointment over no thought for my birthday and she doesn't like my husband ( not her biological father we divorced when she was 5) We talked about everything so I thought.
It sounds like there may be more to say on her part. Maybe you can ask her if there’s more that she would like to say. Let her know that you’d like to listen to her point of view and hear how she is feeling…
I have an open door policy with my kids and i explained about the emotional and mental health about sex,about safe internet and texting and social media use not just the being safe ( I have 2 daughters) so I know she will tell me if she ever does and that I am a safe reliable source for them to come to. Im still terrified for that day Im told that they are intimate for the first time. I graduated HS a virgin.
Sounds like you have created a trusting, open relationship! 👏🏼
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢
I am very sorry 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😊
I have a question. So what to you do if you have been alienated from your child for 6 years and you have just been reunited but she thinks it's all your fault as if you just didn't try to see her. She has no clue. What do I do? I talk to her but she has walls up. She's been brainwashed. She doesn't know the truth. It's so hard to just swallow it all. It's so hard.
Michael, I’m sorry for your struggle. It sounds hard. I’m not sure how old your daughter is but I would recommend taking it very slowly to not push too hard, but to let your actions match your words… Showing her that you love her and want to spend time with her and want to get to know her. Let her know that she has every right to her feelings and that you can handle whatever she feels and you would like to, hear how she feels and what she thinks about the situation. Giving her that kind of respect overtime will hopefully move the needle and improve the situation. This is a much bigger conversation …there’s more to say about it so if you feel like you’d like further support. Please feel free to reach out for a parent coaching session on my website barbsteinberg.com. Hang in there.
@@BarbSteinbergLMSW that's very reaffirming to how I am approaching her. Thank you. Thank you
Parents suck! thats the reason why they hate you
Hi Barb from Australia here. Firstly, I want to thank you for the videos you make. I really find them very helpful and supportive of Mums and Dad, and of course our lovely Teenage Daughters, who are so beautiful and sweet, however, also smart mouthed and “my” biggest challenge ever. My 16 yo daughter lives with her Dad, step-mum (who doesn’t live with them but stays a lot) and her 2 adult brothers, who are my handsome and lovely boys and wonderful siblings. The thing is DD (Darling Daughter) has cut all communication with me since just before Christmas except for 1 night in January (brothers birthday, our blended family mostly celebrate together). Since then, a text message or two, and only 2 or 3 words at most is all I have received. I have asked her the questions, zero response. I have asked Dad, her brothers etc and they have said they would tell me if they knew anything but they have no clue either.
20 minutes with a teen… good luck…. 10 if your lucky… just catch them in a good mood and start talking.
Great, start with 10 minutes!
I like your videos a lot. God bless you.❤
Barb - this is such GREAT wisdom. ❤
Awwww thank you so much, Lora! That means a lot coming from you!😘
Thanks 🙏
You’re welcome!
Give me an example.
Am sorry I don’t understand how can a parent act angelic when the child is lying and they know they are in bad company and that’s driving the lying and other bad habits
Im struggling to encourage my preteen to open up to me right now. Usually when I sit down to have talks like this (or even in the car/on a walk) she almost akways says nothing is wrong, one word yes/no answers. Im working on just spending time in the same space as her in the hopes that my laid back no forced talks presence will help her feel more able to open up. What do you recommend in situations where the child just refuses to answer or continues to say no? Or even when I respond to the "Im fine Mom" (when she is dealing with anxiety), she gets so worked up and upset SO quickly to the point of tears and wants to be left alone. She has such a tender heart and i love her for that but Im worried it will hinder any important communcation between us.
Omg I needed too hear this 😢 thank you so much for this ❤ I will definitely try this method 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hope it goes well, Cata! Good luck!
My mom does not communicate like this. She says what she says and leaves it there. No room for compassion or compromise
