Teen daughter refuses to let mother confiscate her phone, after ignoring repeated requests to stop blasting YouTube at 2 a.m., so her mother uses parental controls to lock the phone, daughter claims she has no right: 'I bought it with my Xmas money'

Wow, to be fifteen again…I can almost feel the grip around my iPhone 8 as I'm told 'it's time to study', a grip so stern it was almost as if I was grabbing onto Oxygen for the last time. Being a teenager sort of feels like the beginning and end of the world all at once. We're experiencing all these new things for the first time, yet the minute something feels scary or wrong, it feels as though we may never recover, but then we do. The rollercoaster of emotions that people claim we grow out of with age, but what I actually think are just expressed in different ways! 

So this mother-daughter relationship represents cases we are very familiar with! This frustrated mother is fed up with her daughter, if she wanted to be ignored, she'd go talk to a brick wall. Which she would probably have a more constructive conversation with anyway…After repeatedly telling her daughter to stop spending so much time on her phone, especially when she blasts YouTube on full volume at 2 in the morning, her daughter refuses to cooperate with her mom's rules. So her mother decided to try a new technique that leaves her no choice. She used parental control to lock her daughter out of her phone. 

Now we want to do a short exercise with you all. Close your eyes, re-access the information that we've just shared, take a deep breath, and imagine what happens next!
