Helps parents cut through the drama of teenage daughters and maintain positive emotional connections
Because adolescent girls tend to talk so much, parents often assume that girls are easier to communicate with than boys.

While recent bestsellers such as Queen Bees and Odd Girl Out explore the social and psychological pressures that inform teenage girls' behaviour, they provide little or no guidance on how to manage the communication problems that develop between parents and their daughters.

As a parent, you owe it to your daughter to keep the lines of communication open to maintain positive emotional connections with her, and this book can show you how. It provides you with the tools you need to:
