Review
Has your teenage daughter reached the “leave me alone” or “I’ll be in my room” or “don’t talk to me” stage? Are you at your wits end
trying to find a way to talk to your teenager that you’ve given up?
My daughter will be turning 13 years old in two and half months and just two weeks later, my son will be turning 17 years old. And
wouldn’t you know, they’ve both hit that stage where they’d rather lock themselves up in their rooms than talk to me. I can’t tell you
how many nights I’ve gone to bed feeling like a failure because I couldn’t get my children to open up to me, because they no longer
wanted to spend quality time with mom, and because I didn’t reach my personal goals as a mother.
But just when I was about to give up and just let them ride their wave, I received a wonderful book in the mail and in it, I was
recharged. Now, my kids and I are making time to talk—one on one and as a family unit. And we’re re-establishing family time by
allowing them to become the young adults they were always meant to be.
Through “What Your Daughter Isn’t Telling You”, I was reminded that while teenagers need a measure of privacy and time to work
things out for themselves, they need us to reach out to them—to remind them that while they are growing up, we’re still here for
them. And they need us to understand that sometimes their hormones are simply acting up and we need to back off.
In the book, you’ll discover:
- Why your teenager girls stop talking to you.
- Why it’s important to really listen to your daughter and not allow your mind to wander or become distracted; especially when you don’t see eye to eye.
- The dangers of feeling alone as a teenage girl.
- Why your daughter’s silence can mean something is dangerously wrong and what you can do to get to the bottom of the issue.
- How to answer the tough questions your daughter finds difficult to ask.
- How to approach the tough topic of sex and dating.
- Why providing a strong bond with your daughter can help her from making poor choices that could destroy her life, such as searching for love and acceptance in all the wrong places.
- Why opening your home to your daughter’s friends can keep you close and keep your daughter safe.
- How important a healthy father-daughter relationship is to the self-esteem and future of your teenager.
- What makes a quality father.
- How to show your daughter that you trust her and why that’s such a valuable area in her life.
- How to properly deal with self-destructive behaviors like cutting, eating disorders, drinking, gambling, and smoking
- Maintaining your ground when your daughter turns eighteen.
- Handling things when your daughter misinterprets your words or actions.
Aside from the wonderful advice included in this book, you’ll also get an inside look into a teenage girl’s mind by reading excerpts from personal notes that were written directly to the authors, themselves. The excerpts offer valuable insight into the minds of young teenage girls and help us, as parents, grasp just how differently we see things at times.
