Your friend comes over and tells you that he is having problems
with his daughter in her late-teens.
What do you say to advise him on how to get along with his daughter?
If you were in the same position, what would you do?
Actually, I'm single, so I'm afraid my idea will not work, but let me try.
If I were in your shoes, I would try to make a conversation-starter.
For example, I might put my favorite book on her desk, which means I
would do something to make her ask a question.
And then, I would try to have harmless talking for a short time.
I think it would be better than nothing.
