((((((((((((((((MyBestKids2))))))))))))))))))) The teens are tough for sure, on parents and on the children. Does your daughter talk to you about things? While some things are pretty normal for children to go through at this age, it can also be a result of some stuff going on in her life (or past stuff).

When my daughter was younger, I just had to make a decision to love whoever came down the stairs, no matter what. Some days were tough, but now we are best friends. My son, on the other hand, had some deeper issues and some stuff stemmed from previous events in his life that I didn't know about.

My advice would be to try to be open and neutral if daughter ever comes to talk to you. Just listening and/or being open to listening (body language as well as words) can be a key to help your daughter through this time.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
