Klappentext PRAISE FOR You're NOT A Failure "While many parenting books counsel us on how we can get our teenagers to meet our expectations, Whitney Fleming asks us to take a different approach--to see our kids for who they were created to be, set down our expectations of who we think they need to become, and evolve alongside them as trusted, relatable guides on their path to independence." --RACHEL MACY STAFFORD, New York Times bestselling author of Hands Free Mama and creator of Soul Shift "Whitney Fleming is the non-judgmental but deeply wise friend we all need when we are raising pre-teens and teens. Not only has she been there, done that, but her writing is exquisitely relatable. Look no further, this is the only parenting book you need." --HELENE WINGENS, managing editor of Grown and Flown "In You're Not a Failure , Whitney speaks directly to parents of teens and tweens. Through relatable stories and practical advice, she provides a clear path to improving your relationship with your kid. If you're feeling overwhelmed, as we often do as parents, this book will help." --JOSH SHIPP, author of The Grown-Up's Guide to Teenage Humans Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction 1 Chapter 1 You Are Not a Failure if You Think Raising Teens Is Hard 7 Chapter 2 Unpacking the Boxes We Carry with US 17 Chapter 3 Middle School Is the Worst 33 Chapter 4 I Want to Raise More Than Good-on-paper Kids 51 Chapter 5 Whose Dream Is It? 65 Chapter 6 Soft Parenting in a Hard World 77 Chapter 7 Sometimes We Have to Let Them Try Stuff on 89 Chapter 8 It's Not Always About the Phone: Managing Tech in An Always-on World 101 Chapter 9 Why Is High School So Hard? 119 Chapter 10 When You Feel Like a Bad Mom 137 Chapter 11 Managing the Emotional Roller Coaster of Raising Teenagers 155 Chapter 12 The Hardest Part of Raising Teens Is Letting Go 183 Chapter 13 How to Love a Teenager 193 Acknowledgments 209 About the Author 211 ...
