[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have received two suggestions for the Adele favor book in the first few posts. Get the teen one, and read it.[/quote]l *fabor.[/quote] +1 to all the PPs who have recommended this book. It is a really good start on learning how to validate your child's feelings. OP--your DD simply isn't going to confide in you the way she might have done when she was younger. But if you are consciously engaging in validating behaviors with her you greatly up the chances she will come to you with issues. Do not jump into solutions immediately--teens (and just about everyone else for that matter) need to be heard out first. At some point along the way, after thoroughly hearing her out, you may be able to ask something like do you want me to help brainstorm some solutions. Always respect a no answer but let her know you are available if she wants to bounce ideas off of you.[/quote]
