Daughter lied about where she was...

I need help with the following issue:

My 15 yr old daughter lied about where she was last Saturday night. She said she was at a friends house with a group watching movies. I asked for the land line number, as she was spending the night there,(the 2nd night in a row)and later found out she gave me a friends cell number instead. I tried repeatedly to call and text her and she did not answer. Eventually I called the number she gave me and her friend said she was asleep. An hour later she called and said she was fine and asleep, why was i bugging her? The next day she confessed, after threatening to call parents of the house she said she was at, that she and her friends spent the night at a boys house. Said there were parents home, no drugs or alcohol, but would not give me any further info to confirm her story. I took her phone away, banned her from sleepovers,and grounded her for a week. Does the consequences fit the punishment? What straight forward behaviors can she do to earn her privligles back?

A week is too long - I'd check with the ebook to see what appropriate consequences are for this.

Have you looked at session #3 in the online version of the ebook in the section "When You Want Something From Your Kid" ...your questions are answered there.

I think your consequences fit.

Mark states that "not repeating the original offense" is how they earn back. You may want to check all the text and videos in the ebook.
