Hi,
Finding it super hard to talk to my 15/16 teen girl. Any other gen x Mum’s find it hard too? Any advice? She hates everything I do. I actually feel bullied by her.

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto that book is very good

By this point Maya had aptly intuited something I’ve come to learn over my years of practice, which is that having a delicate conversation with a teenager is like trying to talk with someone on the other side of a door. Camille opened the door a little bit and Maya wisely worked within the small space she’d been given. Had Maya barged through with all sorts of uninvited information, Camille would have slammed the door, locked it tight, and hesitated to ever open it again.
