I am a grandmother raising a 15 yr old granddaughter,how do you get her to listen to any thing you have to sa

Answer 1

She will do what she wants but through trial and error she will learn. She just needs support and stern discipline to become the young woman that you want her to be.

Answer 2

Be firm, consistent and make sure she has to suffer the repercussions for not listening. She is going to forget a lot of stuff you tell her, at this age, they are predominantly brain dead, at least MINE is. Be fair, talk TO her, not at her, and make sure she is looking at you when you are talking. Let her plead her cases and consider her points. Hug her when you tell her something ultimo-important, she can't help but hear you then. Leave her notes so she has it in writing, you can also make her repeat what you said. Love her, know in your heart she is gonna mess up because she's a teenager, allow her some freedom, but make sure she is clear on the rules. Not following them means she has to sit home and watch movies from the 40s with you. Be patient and hug her a lot.

Answer 3

I can't speak for anyone else, but looking at what my parents did, it's best to be consistent in everything you do. If she refuses to listen to you, punish her (but in a fair manner) until she gets the message. Have set rules and consequences if she is rude/ignores you.

All teenagers will want to rebel, but it's really up to you how you handle it. How did you raise your daughter? Can you learn from the mistakes you might have made and repeat what worked?

Answer 4

Ground her. Let her know that you mean business. She will try to take control. Raise her like you raised your children. i understand that it is tiring but you have to do it.

Good luck
