[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 424801, member: 11791"] Ugh... she's... 12 or so??? K2 is 12, coming 13... the less-complex of our two. Would have been next to a easy child... until she turned 12! The rants? the mom-daughter tensions? the jumpiness over any kind of criticism? Unfortunately, THAT part is "normal"! Its just harder to take when there's a whole pile of OTHER issues on top of that. I don't have any good books to recommend (the ones we have were hand-me-downs and all out of print), but any materials you can find and [U]leave laying around[/U] (do NOT give to her - that doesn't work!) about puberty, hormones, teen-parent relationships, etc. is useful. Help her discover the "normal" side of herself... where its possible. (we're trying to do that with K1, but its not quite as easy when they are complex!) {{hug}} [/QUOTE]
