Book of the Month: The Blessing of a B Minus |
|
"When a child becomes a teenager, her sense of entitlement and independence grows, the pressure to compete skyrockets, and communication becomes fraught with obstacles. Dr. Wendy Mogel emphasizes empathy and guidance over micromanaging teens’ lives and overreacting to missteps. She reveals that emotional outbursts, rudeness, rule-breaking, staying up late, and other worrisome teen behaviors are in fact normal and necessary steps in psychological growth and character development to be met with thoughtful care, not anxiety. With her signature wit and warmth, Mogel gives parents the tools to do so, offering reassuring advice on:
· why influence is more effective than control
· teenage narcissism
· living graciously with rudeness
· the surprising value of ordinary work
· why risk is essential preparation for the post–high school years
· when to step in and when to step back
The Blessing of a B Minus is an important and inspiring book that will fortify parents through the teenage years."

The Secret of Not Yelling When You're Having a Bad Day |
|
"Yes, it is possible to stop yelling, and I've seen thousands of parents do it. The secret is compassion. For your child, of course. But start with compassion for yourself. You can't be emotionally generous when you're stressed, running on empty, feeling like you aren't good enough." |
