Trust me, mom -
everyone else is going!
by
roni cohen-sandler ph.d
Thousands of
mothers found reassurance as well as
real solutions for mother-daughter
conflict in "I'm Not Mad, I Just
Hate You!" Now, Roni
Cohen-Sandler brings the same sound
advice and practical expertise to
the issues that erupt around a
teenage daughter's social life.
Whether a daughter is nearing
puberty or in the throes of
adolescence, mothers today anguish
over the best way to deal with
seemingly endless issues of
attitude, self-image, secrecy,
friends, boyfriends, and nightlife.
Cohen-Sandler introduces a five-step
approach to parenting teens
effectively using the concept of
BRAIN-Being flexible, respectful,
attuned, involved, and
noncontrolling-and addresses topics
such as:
* To Snoop or Not to
Snoop-respecting a daughter's
privacy
* Parties and Partying-staying safe
while having fun
* Body image and identity-how they
relate to making smart decisions
* Setting limits-when they can
become a detriment and when they can
build trust
Rooted in psychologically sound
principles as well as clinical and
personal experience, this is a new
model of parenting, based on love,
trust, and discernment, for a new
generation of mothers.
Reviews:
I’ve never been one to
seek advice from
parenting books,
preferring to “wing it”
through babyhood,
toddlerhood, childhood.
But now I’m in the
throes of teenage “hood”
and I’ll read anything I
can get my hands on. A
new title from Roni
Cohen-Sandler, Ph.D.,
author of the bestseller
I’m Not Mad, I Just Hate
You! is especially
helpful if you’re the
mother of a teenage
girl. Entitled Trust Me,
Mom—Everyone Else Is
Going! The New Rules for
Mothering Adolescent
Girls,” this book
addresses topics which
trouble most mothers
(and fathers): privacy,
safety, decision-making,
independence and
discipline.
Cohen-Sandler draws on
her expertise not only
as a clinical
psychologist but also as
a parent, providing a
wealth of examples from
her experiences.
Add this one to your arsenal.

Clinical psychologist Roni Cohen-Sandler
clearly digs the teen argot, as
evidenced by the title of her
just-released Viking book, Trust Me
Mom—Everyone Else Is Going! The New
Rules for Mothering Adolescent Girls.
(Her 1999 Viking title also reflected
teenspeak: I’m Not Mad, I Just Hate You!
A New Understanding of Mother-Daughter
Conflict.)
