What a blessing! I've been praying for your friend.<BR/><BR/>Good list! I would probably add one more thing--don't let her get her way all the time. This type is good at managing to do that most of the time, but it's not good for them, as one of my teenage sons pointed out to me recently about something my daughter was trying to orchestrate. He saw it more clearly than me, and he was right!<BR/><BR/>But that advice has to go hand in hand with your third point, maintaining a good relationship with her.<BR/><BR/>~JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440749662994772656.post-64434977173909619592009-04-01T21:25:00.000-05:002009-04-01T21:25:00.000-05:00I'm glad you're back :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for these, Jena - they are good advice for both my boys, so different but both with 'future leader' qualities...<BR/><BR/>KarenThe Stone Age Techiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09033206940045546960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440749662994772656.post-69022244609629622102009-04-01T16:14:00.000-05:002009-04-01T16:14:00.000-05:00Thanks for the good advice, Jena.

All relationships need time to develop trusting relationships.
