Described as, “The ultimate preparation manual and survival guide for moms with tween or teen girls, What Do You Expect? She’s a Teenager is a manual for surviving and thriving with your daughter. Written by Arden Greenspan-Goldberg, a nationally known family and marriage psychotherapist specializing in teen and young adult issues, this book offers you a way to step back from the chaos, manage your worries, and cultivate a more open and less volatile relationship with your daughter.

Greenspan-Goldberg will be at Words Bookstore in Maplewood tomorrow discussion her new book and giving moms of daughters advice, such as how to handle the most serious topics, from bullying, sex, and drugs to eating disorders and friends, as well as other typical hot-button scenarios-including the desire for piercings or tattoos, posting racy photos online, sexting, and many more issues.

As a mom to two girls, I’m almost afraid to think about their teen years. But it doesn’t have to be so tough. My girls won’t be as awful to me as I was to my mom, right? Right?
