"The problem is not her, it's me. I can't seem to stop asking her loads of questions about her friendships and my husband says I am putting negative ideas in her head."
A parent expresses concern about their tendency to over-question their teenage daughter about her friendships despite the daughter settling well into secondary school and making friends successfully. The husband observes that the constant questioning may be introducing negative ideas into the daughter's mind. This reflects a common parental challenge where anxiety about a child's social development manifests as intrusive questioning, potentially damaging the teenager's natural confidence and independence in forming relationships. The issue highlights the importance of trusting adolescents' social capabilities and allowing them space to develop friendships without excessive parental scrutiny.
