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

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.
