The tweens are raising their heads here. I am looking for a book(s) that will explain developmentally what is going on and has practical solutions for handling the behavior issues that come with the devlopmental realities. Right now, DS has a strong need to be right about everything or to be strong, important, etc. He wants to argue with us about things in our area of expertise (e.g. I rode/owned horses for years and he wants to tell me horses actually do X when they just don't). I don't want to argue with my child--I have better things to do! I want to work on understanding him and communicating with him. I don't do well with the Love and Logic books because they assume that I will be a calm/rational person at all times :tongue5: Is there a book you like and why do you like it? TIA!!!
