Recently, Rachel’s goals have done a 180. Now, I’m wondering if I did something wrong.
Although her father and I have regulations about its use, and we loosely monitor what she’s consuming, we trust her to be responsible. Like most teenagers, Rachel uses social media (mainly TikTok and Instagram). She’s smart and personable and has always had big plans for the future, such as college and an eventual career in high-level nursing. I have a 16-year-old daughter, “Rachel,” who has always been a go-getter. Have a question about kids, parenting, or family life? Submit it here !
