Synopsis: PG-13: Appropriate for Parents and Teens. Specifically, Moms and Teen Daughters.
The teen years can be challenging. For parents, the challenge is in understanding their teen's point of view and giving them the leeway to make decisions about their future. For teens, it is in trying to be independent while respecting parental guidelines and expectations. This book lays out the perspectives of moms and their daughters. It provides tools for understanding the opposing stances and facilitating the reconciliation process to foster a powerful relationship built on trust and empathy. It walks through some of the common issues where moms and their daughters don't see eye-to-eye and provides both viewpoints on each topic. These two perspectives are balanced with the presentation of the worldly perception on each subject. Each chapter ends with an exercise to evaluate the degree to which moms and daughters have differing mindsets on a topic as a starting point to prompt communication and compromise. Topics in this book include Tattoos, Curfews, Social Media, Mental Wellbeing, Money & Spending and more.
