How to Have "Healthy Conflicts" with Your Teen

Published about 1 month ago • 1 min read

In this issue:

Hi Reader,

As you enter the teen years, your house may become a little bit volatile, with emotions constantly percolating. It can be tough to disagree in a way that feels comfortable, but it can happen if you all work at it, and it's something you can bring into the next phase of your relationship.

Also, the decline of reading in teens is so disturbing from our point of view, so we asked one of our editors, who also works at her local library, to share with us what teens are reading today. It's a great list, and we highly encourage you to try a few of these books out to read with your teen!

Stay safe.
