[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree on Lisa Damour. Does she live in the area? I feel like she’s come and had workshops around here (that I haven’t been able to attend). I thought Queen Bees and Wannabes was informative about the teen girl social dynamics. The Self-Driven Child isn’t about teen girls but is a good book about raising independent kids and has good information on communication, etc. [/quote] Ditto to all these recommendations and newer books by those authors. Also good to review "how to talk so kids listen and listen so kids talk." But probably Lisa Damour covers the most important parts of that book, like listening way more than talking, not offering unsolicited advice (at least not too much), and trying to figure out if kids are just venting (usual) or need help solving a problem (less and less as they grow older).[/quote]
