14 year old niece is coming for a year

Needing some guidance.
SlaveEt · 36-40, F
Have a frank discussion with her mom, and find out what the girl's rules are and what her mom expects of her daughter. When she arrives, lay out your house and ground rules so there is no ambiguity. Be consistent.

And basically just talk to her, be a listening ear and be supportive. She will be missing her mom, her friends and her old school. High school kids can be mean to the new kid and high school is tough anyway.

@drtt943 every thing @SlaveEt Said is correct
but also,, she may NOT want to talk or be heard
she may WANT to be alone give her a space she can make her own, and ALWAYS knock and wait for yes
she may have interests you will not be happy with. if there is no harm look away
gosh so much here
And i am NOT a good example

Just remember that we were all 14 ourselves at one time.
