You can physically track her with find my iPhone .. You can restrict what she does with restriction settings on her phone .. As far as shutting down functions that would be done from the carrier .. I know Verizon offers the ability to do this for a monthly fee using a option on the account. I do not know of any other way

Find My Friends, location sharing in messages, etc work.

FamilyBase if you use Verizon can help set time limits and gives a list of approved contacts outside those times. Can also set monthly data limits to avoid overages.

Set up her phone with Apple's Configurator software. It is a free download. It is available for OS X computers. You can total control your child's iPhone. It's what enterprises and companies deploying wide scale iPhones use.

I use FamilyBase to keep track of my sister's phone.

If I want to restrict my daughters use during school hours, I just take the phone. When she was younger I added tons of restrictions. My motto is "I'm the adult". When I want to see something on her phone she gives it to me. Telling me no isn't an option.
