Alyssa and I are both officially past raising kids, the years went by way too quickly! But we both would have loved a book to help us navigate those interesting years!
Jessica Peck is a pediatric nurse practitioner and mom of four, helps parents escape the secrecy and shame surrounding tough conversations. In her book Behind Closed Doors, she gives some great information on how to have real conversations with your kids.
Here’s some great info! “Today’s teens are feeling more isolated, anxious, and depressed than previous generations, and are struggling with more complex challenges. Jessica Peck (DNP, APRN) has spent countless hours advising and encouraging parents after talking to their teens behind closed doors. In the privacy of her exam room, she has treated teens with mental illnesses, responded to suicide attempts, treated self-harm wounds as well as the emotional trauma of cyberbullying, sexting, pornography addictions, and numerous other issues. Through it all, Jessica found that teens really want to talk to their parents but don’t know how. Jessica seeks to move the private conversations that happen in the clinic to relationship-building conversations at home. Behind Closed Doors is a guided lifeline to help you strengthen your connection with your kids.”
