[quote=Anonymous]OP, sometimes the dynamic between men and daughters (if your tween is a girl) can be difficult to understand and navigate. I found with my husband that I was the "interpreter" of feelings/actions/words that our daughter was expressing. He grew up in a family of mostly males, I grew up in one mostly females. Maybe your husband feels like a "fish out of water" when trying to understand your tween. What helped for me is to have many sessions of communication with my husband gently teaching him what is normal or typical for girls and then interpreting our daughter for him. Counselors are great at getting everyone together and understanding as much as possible. Encourage your husband along the way, praise him for the little things he does do right and he might surprise you and come around. You're doing a great job Mom![/quote]
