"What Do You Expect? She's a Teenager!: A Hope and Happiness Guide for Moms with Daughters Ages 11 – 19"
You know your daughter has a lot to deal with. But short of being with her 24/7, how can you help?
The ultimate preparation manual and survival guide for moms with tween or teen girls, What Do You Expect? She's a Teenager! is a portable problem-solver, a manual for surviving and thriving with your daughter.
Written by Arden Greenspan-Goldberg, a nationally known family and marriage psychotherapist specializing in teen and young adult issues, this book offers you a way to step back from the chaos, manage your worries, and cultivate a more open and less volatile relationship with your daughter.
Filled with advice on how to handle the most serious topics, from bullying, sex, and drugs to eating disorders and friends, as well as other typical hot-button scenarios-including the desire for piercings or tattoos, posting racy photos online, sexting, and many more issues-this is a must-have for any mom coping with a teenage daughter.
Arden Greenspan-Goldberg, is a nationally known family and marriage psychotherapist who maintains a private practice in New City, New York and New York City. Her areas of specialization include eating disorders, sport psychology, gay and lesbian youth, women, men, teen and young adult issues.
