Yes, I totally agree that it is imperative for parents to upgrade their parenting silks.


Dealing with the teens are getting more challenging nowadays. Our approach has to be very tactful / careful…all these requires skills & strategies which we may not know or have.

If the approach is wrong, we may risk losing their trust and they may not listen to us anymore or some may even turned rebellious. If any of this happens, it will be tough for the parents.

I chanced upon this Strategic Parenting course.

This course may be able to help me to work better with my daughter...I'm thinking of giving it a try.

Thank you… But I can’t think of any other family member who can help. Reading your reply tells me that I have made a mistake to let her have her computer in her room. I’m not sure it will be possible to ask her to keep the door open. But I will try to find an opportunity to speak with her.

Thanks for your advice, BlackBelt.

We had a good discussion before and she agreed with the choice of school.
I tried to sit her down and findout what's going on but she just avoided the topic.
She is always at the computer and refused to spend her free time with the family. I suspect that she's making some new friends online but didn't want to let us know. I'm worried that she'll meet the wrong people.
It is also hard for me to force her to tell me everything especially at her age now. Our relationship is drifting apart.

She has changed from a bubbly little girl to a very quiet girl since she moved to a new school. She missed her old classmates and withdraw herself in the new envoirment. She doesn’t talk much nowadays and always hide herself in her room.
