When homeschooling parents and teens clash over constructivist versus structured learning

My teenage daughter learns completely differently than I do - she's all about discovery and making her own connections while I default to step-by-step instruction. We're homeschooling together and constantly clashing over whether she needs more structure or more freedom, and I can't tell if I'm helping or hindering her learning process.
