For many women, having a baby girl is a dream come true.

Kari offers wisdom about how moms can: Choose their words and timing carefully. Listen and empathize with her teen's world. See the good, and love her for who she is. Take care of themselves and find a support system in the process. By working on the foundation, habits, and dynamics of the relationship; mothers can connect with their teen daughters and earn a voice in their lives that allows moms to offer guidance, love, wisdom, and emotional support. Kari gives mothers hope, wisdom, and a reminder that all things are possible through God, who is the source of the guidance and clarity they need in order to grow strong relationships with their daughters at every age—especially during the critical teen years.

Download or read book Add a lessons written by C. L. Threatt and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-23 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seven years of wonder (ages 13-19), or the teen years as their called, can be the most challenging years of life. It's a time of curiosity, self-awareness and self-discovery. You're at a crossroad. You're stuck in the middle. You're too old to be called a little kid yet too young to be called an adult. As a teen you will have a lot of decisions to make. Some of these decisions you'll make on your own and some you may need a little help with. The decisions you make today will determine your level of success tomorrow. These decisions will probably be based on experiences you've had or lessons you've learned. That's why author, poet and public speaker, C.L. Threatt coined the phrase "Add-a-Lessons." He calls them this because he says that in life you will learn a lot of lessons but he has "added" some that he feels will help you make the best decisions possible. Having raised four teens of his own (and obviously having been one himself), Mr. Threatt is well equipped to help you avoid some of the pitfalls that keep a lot of young people from reaching their full potential. The advice he shares in this book will help any teen navigate the difficult and sometimes confusing road to adulthood.

Blending theory, practical advice and lived experience, clinical psychologist Naomi Fisher introduces the world of self-directed learning and tailoring the learning environment to your child. This comprehensive overview of self-directed learning is packed with ideas on how to implement it at home and includes interviews from parents of neurodivergent children on how you can make learning differently work for you and your child

Download or read book Thinking Themselves Free written by Cynthia Miller Coffel and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2011 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking Themselves Free presents humane, tender portraits of a small group of teen mothers trying to finish high school, and describes the ways in which reading, writing, and schooling shaped these young women's lives. The book suggests ways in which deeply held ideas about class, appropriate gender roles, and the expression of emotion in school affect educators' relationships with students who are different from the middle-class norm. Teachers of teen mothers describe with poignancy the young women's struggles to balance motherhood, work, and school, and suggest how schools could change to become more open to the diversity of life choice these women express. Because this book addresses the problems of struggling readers, working class students, and the teachers who serve them, its greatest audience will be among pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher educators interested in literacy education, qualitative research, education reform, gender equity, social justice, and the teaching of young adult literature.
