Step 1: Name the Situation
What's happening? Be specific about the parenting dilemma you're facing.
Be as detailed as possible. What's she asking for? How is she feeling? What are you worried about?
Common situations:
- • She wants a phone/social media account
- • She wants to quit an activity
- • She's refusing to do homework
- • She wants more independence (walk alone, stay home alone)
- • Friend drama or social conflicts
