Hi my DD is 9 and I am finally coming to terms with the fact I have a pre-teen and no longer a little girl....
I've ordered a couple of books for her about body changes / growing up as recommended on MN, but what about books for parents about managing relationships with pre-teens, does anyone have any suggestions?
It's quite an emotional journey for both of us I think; for her the hormones and body changes etc; and for me the realisation that she is growing up and I have to start letting her go and help her on the road to independence (sob)- so if anyone has read any books that helped them as a parent cope with this phase, I've love to hear!
