if she is good praise her and reward her for it. But Make it clear those will go away if she breaks your trust. I was really good (at least until 18 and by then I had a good head on my shoulder and did not get pressured or drug into bad things) I drank a handful of times, but on these few occasions no one evre drove...I never ditched school, I didn't do any drugs, I never snuck out of the house, came home before curfew, I didn't smoke. The worst thing I did in high school was pass notes. My mom always taught me that rights equal responsibility. She gave me a lot of freedom but that was based on the fact that I was honest with her and didn't get into trouble. I knew if I did I was lose her trust and some of those rights. Thats the best thing i could suggest. i actually stayed out of trouble more than my friends because of it.
trust and respect her so she will learn to trust and respect herself.
