Thank you ~ I will. I am finding that my 12 y/o knows MUCH more than I realized. She is starting to challenge me in ways that I didn't think possible. I guess I sometimes still look at her as if she is my little girl even though she is almost as tall as me.

Every day we talk about our "highs" and "lows". We say what was our high or low & explain why. Then we can also discuss if there is anything we can do to change our lows to make them a high. Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. It's a good lesson in life ~ we can't always control things. I think I will try to be more open with them about mine - not to get pity but maybe more understanding.

It sounds to me like youv'e got a great relationship going, keeping it up is the important part. I found the trouble usually started when my kids hooked themselves onto certain friends that pulled them into a direction that wasn't always good. You know, that peer pressure thing. The older they get, the less control you have over their friends.
