When you talk to your daughter, try not talking about school subjects. You should try talking about boys, because she'll definitely be interested. Just start by asking about one guy you know. Say, "Hmmm...do you think --------- is pretty hot?" Try to find your inner teen girl--(if you are a mother) If you're a dad, then you have to realize that she's not your little baby girl anymore. Try not to talk about sports. Either parents (especially moms) need to talk about their problems or experiences when they were a teen. Talk during the family table. Be strict but understanding. Give her space, but make sure she knows that you care.

I think it is great you are asking for help on a very difficult topic but, unfortunately Yahoo Answers may have confused you a little. This is the preschool educational section of yahoo answers. Try to repost your question in the Family and relationships section of yahoo answers. Also be sure to elaborate on your question. What can't you understand? What is the problem you and your daughter are having? Ask specific questions like.. how should I communicate with her without making me out to be the bad guy? or What am I doing wrong? or Is this normal? The more information the answerers have the more they will be able to help you. Good luck with you and your teenage girl.

If she is open to talking to you ,, just listen.. dont judge her.. then she won't talk to you again or open up. I always find my almost 14yr old talks to me in the car whn we are driving more than any other time. Just make sure you giggle and laugh with her and don't judge. you can't control what happens out side of the house but you can find out about if you just listen. If she was raised right with the right values hopefully she will make the right choices.

are you her mother or her father?
if you are the mother think back to your teen years and how you acted. you will find that she is the same with allowances for the social and technological advances since then.
don't be too critical and don't appear shocked when she comes up with shockers. just be prepared to listen to her questions and answer them without being judge mental
forget about what others are thinking and allow her freedom to be herself. lead her to set her own parameters and limits, to talk about them with you and listen to your own. tell her the consequences of exceeding limits.
sit back with fingers crossed behind your back and keep watch for mood changes and expressions.
don't ask for confidences. just be available and non-judge mental when she makes them
best of luck.

You are in a preschool section and asking about the teenage girl.
Only teenagers can understand teenagers. nobody else can.
