Now she throws herself down on the floor when she hears the word "no", at bath time, bedtime and mealtime. You can't go visit friends, shopping, or out to eat. Your entire life has flipped upside down, and you feel pretty powerless. This is a place to get some insight regarding loving parenting tips, and meet other parents who are struggling with similar issues.

But, now they just roll their eyes, close their bedroom door all the time, and reject your attempts to spend time together. As a parent it feels so confusing to know they want you and need you, and also want and need to grow up. You were a good parent, you still are a good parent, but somehow all the things that used to work just don't. Here's a place to talk to other parents, and learn a tip or two on how to get through the tweens and teens while still maintaining a good relationship with your kids.
