Description

Entitlement. Irregular emotions. Obsession with social media. Premature discovery of sex. These are just a few of the issues that parents raising a new generation of girls are dealing with. As a parent, navigating a healthy relationship with your child during these teen years can be challenging if you don’t have the proper tools to communicate.

In this book, Parenting Teenage Girls In The Age of a New Normal parenting expert and author Michelle Mitchell draws upon decades of experience working with teenage girls and provides her unique parenting strategies in response to the biggest issues impacting this generation of girls, such as: bullying, social media, sexuality, disrespect, drugs, and anxiety.

Featuring straight forward advice that really works, Parenting Teenage Girls In The Age of a New Normal book is a practical and empowering resource to help foster stronger relationships between parents and their teens and pre-teens.

Author Michelle Mitchell says "I wanted to write a book that made parents feel like they were literally sitting in my office, talking to me about their young person and (most importantly) walking away with the help they needed. This book talks about the topics I find parents are most concerned about – disrespect, social media, moods, sexuality, drugs, alcohol and partying responsibly. "

Page 170. This strategy is called HIT AND RUN PRAISE and anyone who lives or works with teens can use it. I suggest that you give them a genuine compliment and then keep walking. Don’t pause, wait for their feedback or stay around and wait for a reaction or eye roll. Catch them off guard. Hit and run it.

I just received my order and wanted to say thank you for getting it sent out so quickly. I have bought from your shop a few times now and the orders always come within a few days (which is great because I sometimes buy last minute gifts!). But also wanted to say that the shop is great because I know I will always be buying products that are made not only by artists but women which is something I love to support. happy customers.
