Quotes to ponder:

"We can’t control what our teens like, what their passions are, or what they want to do with their time."

"Let your teen talk, vent, and express what they love about clothes. Ask thoughtful questions and be curious."

"The more you try to shut it down, the more your teen is going to cling to it."
