OK... you guys are scaring me now... my one and only daughter just recently turned 13.    My biggest problem so far is that she is always on the phone.



Time will tell.  Good Luck Pete.  Mine is 14 and we are close so I'm hoping for little or no issues.

When my sister had a breakdown I took my niece for over 18 months.  Nothing compared to 18 years I know.  She was 13 at the time and had developed the taste to lie.  She had gotten so bad she used to do it just to see if she could get it past.  These are the two things that worked the best, what is the even better is they are both painless for you Spockians and set a long lasting punishment.  Having my degree in psychology I would like to say I love what it does for child rearing.

Number 1:  If she lies make her eat something she hates.  Pimento loaf with coriander on wonder bread did wonders.  Lies should not taste good and therefore their punishment shouldn't either.

Number 2:  Make her write the statement "I will not lie on a sheet of paper."  Start with 25 times.  Go up 25 times every time you catch her in a new lie.  it is busy work, she cannot do anything else until it is done.  An added bonus my niece's handwriting went from barely legible to award winning.
