Between smartphones, social media, and cyberbullying, the world is changing. Technology is transforming how girls identify themselves, learn, develop social skills, and communicate with the people around them, and many mothers feel as though they are venturing into alien territory, with no idea how to navigate these unprecedented situations. But the good news is that regardless of your technological skill, you are still the best person to guide your daughter through all the chaos of adolescence. In Anything But My Phone, Mom! Dr. Roni Cohen-Sandler shows mothers how to handle the modern challenges of parenting teenage girls, drawing upon interviews with teenagers and their mothers, decades of clinical experience, and her own experience as a mother. With clear, practical advice, she provides insights and strategies for how you can better understand your daughter, maintain a close and loving relationship with her, keep her safe, and help her become resilient, capable, confident, and healthy"-- Provided by publisher.
