On the positive side, you might feel proud your daughter has capably handled this personal crisis. Her decision-making process may have drawn you closer together. As a parent, you've laid the foundation for your daughter's decision-making processes. Please support your daughter's feelings while not forfeiting your own. Avoid exerting too much parental pressure and guide her rather than direct.
Maturation has both elements of dependence and independence.
Your daughter is an individual with both strengths and weaknesses. She alone is responsible for her sexuality. Although you may want to, you can't accept responsibility for this portion of her life. While visiting our Center, your daughter and her doctor will decide which contraceptive method is best for her. Your daughter has been sexually active at least one time and will be again sometime in the future.
