Answer 3

Good rules:

1. Curfew of midnight ( I think even that's pushing it )

2. No smoking/ drinking

3. You have to meet whoever is picking her up when she goes out

4. Finish homework/do chores before going out

Bad rules:

1. No dating-- most likely, she's gonna do it if she wants, and it's worse if you don't know about it or don't  know the guy.

2. No talking on the phone at night. (My mom used to do this to me-- it was the most n**i-est thing ever)

3. Absolutely forbidding her from hanging out with someone.

4. No s*x -- she should feel that she is able to talk to you about it honestly; if you forbid it then she won't feel that way.

Answer 4

4 good rules:

1- All homework must be kept up to date

2- Setting a curfew

3- She must let you know where she is and who she is with at all times

4- No drinking or drugs under any circumstances...even if you allow it once she will think that she can get away with it again...and she most likely will.



...And of course any household rules that you have enforced since she was younger...manners, respect, fighting with siblings (if there are any), etc.

4 bad rules;

-anything that seems like you are taking away her responsibility and independance...she will feel the need to rebel against you. You need to trust her to follow simple guidelines (not rules), above, and if she breaks them then you will have to enforce more strict rules. If you have her help you to create the guidelines then she will more than likely follow them...but if you give them to her she might not agree with it. Teens love to rebel so the more you show her you trust her (until she breaks that trust) she will feel much for responsible and confident and follow the rules/guidelines that you set together. For example, trusting her to keep up with her homework without telling her when it must be done. once her marks fall behind then you can set that rule in place. You should check in with her and offer help often to let her know that she is responsible on her own but that you are there if she needs you.

Good Luck!
