As a parent of a teen or tween, what could be better than more moments when your child wants to be close enough for a hug and to sit and talk to you?

At From Eye-Rolling to ‘I love you’ you have the chance the transform your foundation – to a trusting, loving relationship with your teen. All the rest will follow… and the eye-rolling will become something you’ll all end up laughing about!
♥ You’ll learn how to quiet the ‘fixer’ voice in your head when you’re talking to your teen (because when the ‘fixer’ in you gets going, your child runs in the other direction).
