Providing realistic scenarios and welcome advice on how to engage daughters in smart, constructive ways, Untangled gives parents a broad framework for understanding their daughters while addressing their most common questions, including - My thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes when I try to talk to her, and only does it more when I get angry with her about it.
How should I respond? - Do I tell my teen daughter that Im checking her phone? - My daughter suffers from test anxiety.
What can I do to help her? - Wheres the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder? - My teenage daughter wants to know why Im against pot when its legal in some states.
What should I say? - My daughters friend is cutting herself.
Do I call the girls mother to let her know? Perhaps most important, Untangled helps mothers and fathers understand, connect, and grow with their daughters.
When parents know what makes their daughter tick, they can embrace and enjoy the challenge of raising a healthy, happy young woman.
