Email a reader I am sharing here w her permission:

One of the things I would recommend for mothers of girls (preteen or older) is a book by Lisa Damour called "Untangled". It talks about the 7 transitions girls go through on their way to adulthood. It's been a great resource for me that I keep going back to when I am lost as to how to parent a particular situation. She also has a podcast called "Ask Lisa: The psychology of parenting" that's got some great advice as well.

I suuuccckkked at the tween/teen years as a parent. I now have a granddaughter I spend a lot of time with and vow to do better with her. Being a soft place to land is very important to me. My kids are adults and we are very close. Keep on keeping on. It gets better.
