Welcome to a secret view into the world of the net-generation. I love writing to you (maybe a little too much) so enjoy, stick around and be sure to tell me what you think...and, duh, get on my email list quick! (on the right, "subscribe via email"). Or subscribe to my RSS feed.
Ahh, boundaries. It seems to be a constant problem for parents and daughters. We all go through that stage. In this video I talk about how to talk to your daughter about her clothing and style choices and how to present herself to boys. Here is an overview:
1) Pick your battles
2) If you tell her no, she will do it worse
3) Let them try on their identity and experiment a little
4) Teach them how to be pretty–not slutty
5) Find out how her friends dress, is this an identity thing or a peer pressure thing?
6) Try to incorporate fashion–in a good way.
