hi Poornima Poorni! this is that age when hormones are raging and peer group takes precedence over family. a teenager would do anything blindly to be accepted as a member of the group be it following the same dress code.. or this would even mean not studying or spending more time on gadgets , listening to music or even watching popular serials.. Poornima at this stage u need to not look at her behavior as a mother but as a friend and remember the days when u were of her age. we all have been there and done that. talk to her and discuss your concerns . let her know u r concerned for her and u love her a lot . u respect her decisions but at this age she also needs to focus on her career. u could make her meet a career counsellor who could guide her about the various options , help her choose a path and follow it. praise her, appreciate her, check your tone before talking to her, that u r not always complaining or criticizing. please have a look at this blog. hope you will find the tips handy.
