Try not to play the heavy hand, but do exercise a consistent, firm hand in dealing with a child who has just come to live with you. Sit down together and talk about your expectations. Work together in establishing curfews, night out restrictions, etc. that you both can live with, and secure her agreement on fulfilling those expectations. If your child feels he/she cannot abide by those restrictions, then he/she is welcome to go back to live with their father.
