Dear Lia,

> I think she has lost respect because of our difference in height.

I think she lost respect for you a long, long time ago - probably early childhood - and now she's big enough to fearlessly show it to you. Where and how did you lose/disconnect with your kid so she no longer loves or respects you???

>how can someone establish myself as a force in my own home such a tall arrogant kid like this??

You'll probably need couseling to uncover all the unhappy stuff between you and her. You could try some love, respectful communcation, empathy by putting yourself in your child's place to see what she might be feeling and most of all, recalling how it was for you at her age and how you dealt with it back then. If you can relate to your child and her challenges, the way to relate to her will be clear as a bell. Put yourself in her place just a little and LEARN A LOT.......hope it's not too late for your child.

Jim
