How did you get through the last one? What worked? What didn't work?

My daughter is almost 14. She has alomst no assertiveness. I don't
worry about her rebelling, I worry about her not standing up for herself.
I am trying to find a balance between: holding her responsible for her
actions, and not being so afraid of the results that she will not try
anything. Sometimes I think she looses out on too much by being a 'good
kid'.
