Moms Don't Quit!: How to Influence, Empower and Stay Connected with Your Tween or Teen in a Noisy World

You can develop a healthier and stronger relationship with your tween or teen!

We want to stay connected with our children but often times, the pressures and distractions of life can pull them away from us. It’s never too late to strengthen or mend this relationship.

You don’t have to be the perfect mom (or dad!) to guide, influence, and stay connected with your youngster during these critical years. You can simply make a few tweaks in your parenting style, so you can raise a successful, confident, independent child.

In Moms Don’t Quit!, Dr. Yanina will help you:

• • Connect and communicate with your child in a meaningful way.
  • Discipline, influence and coach them successfully.
  • Be actively involved in their life without being perceived as intrusive or nosy.
  • Better understand, support and be in tune with your child during their quest for identity, self-control, independence and deeper relationships.
  • Manage and help them overcome emotional ups and downs, negative influences and pressures despite the mixed messages they’re constantly receiving.

Through her personal journey, Dr. Yanina discovered how to detoxify her life and adopt a healthier, mindful lifestyle. In this book, she’ll help you to do the same.
