Christian parenting: What should I do about my daughter, seriously?
I am not a parent, but I am a Christian. First of all your kid is 12 - she is just trying to piss you off, that is what all tweens (10-13 year olds) do. Just because the boy's parents are liberal educated doesn't mean anything, and if your going to say no offense when bringing race into the issue it pretty much means that your offending the kid and his parents, not the people who read this question. And they are right: kids will be kids, but maybe you should put your foot down and tell your child that you think it might not be the right time to be "romantically" involved with a boy. And if she doesn't want to go to church, then punish her by signing her up for extracurricular activities so then she won't be hanging around boys and will at least be studying. And you dont' want your kid to be in the gifted program??? If you don't want her to cheer then just say that it is not that great and if she wants to be athletic then put her on a swimming or running team. And maybe instead of just freaking out at her for wanting to be an atheist ask her if she ever liked being a Christian and why she likes the religion.
