Let me start by saying that no matter what your teenage daughter says, you are NOT crazy. Raising a teenage daughter may be one of the hardest things you’re doing right now, but it doesn’t have to be. In You Don’t Get Me, 18-year-old high school senior Madeline Mann gives you the inside scoop as to what’s really going on with your teenage daughter by helping you to answer three key questions:
1.What’s my daughter thinking?
2.Why won’t she listen?
3.How can I get through to her?
What makes this parenting advice book unique is the author’s pedigree: she’s an actual teenager who weighs in on all the miscommunication, misunderstanding and mistrust that impacted not only her relationship with her parents, but also the relationships of all the parents and their teenage daughters who grew up around her. This wiser-than-her-years writer started the book when she was 16 and finished just before graduating high school two years later.
In her lighthearted style, Madeline shares her first-hand knowledge into what she and her fellow teens are going through and how you can immediately improve your relationship with your hard-to-reach daughter. Most importantly, she answers the questions of what happened to your sweet, wonderful child who was so talkative and effusive in her love and why she was replaced with this spiteful, self-centered, sometimes mean-spirited teenager who can’t stand to be around you.
In this book, you’ll learn:
•7 things your daughter wishes she could tell you but never would
•How to know when she’s lying and what to do about it
•How to get her to do what she’s supposed to do and how to get her to stop doing what she’s not
•How to successfully broach prickly topics like makeup, clothes, boyfriends and the ‘sex talk’
•All the things that teenagers definitely do not want you to know, but is important that you do
You’ll also find out about:
•Fashion: “Yes, she looks ridiculous,” and what you can and can’t do about it
•Punishment: How to put the screws to her (and not leave a mark)
•How to be there for your daughter while remaining completely invisible
•4 things that every parent is in denial about
By reading this book, you’ll be armed with a real-world understanding of who your daughter is, where she’s coming from and, most importantly, what you can do about it. As a result, your relationship with your daughter will immediately change for the better and, believe it or not, no one will be happier than your own daughter.
If there were to be only one book on the shelf of every parent with a teenage daughter, then You Don’t Get Me would be it.
