Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Lately, my daughter's been using nothing but scowls, eye rolls and door slams to communicate with me. I didn't have high hopes for this journal, but figured if nothing else my daughter would fill in HER part, even if she didn't want to involve me. It turns out she has a lot to discuss with me. I guess the book gives her the safety of distance. She not only immediately started filling in her personal info, but started asking me questions, on paper, about personal problems she's been having at school. I'm not sure my answers are helping her much, but she keeps writing and leaving the journal for me to respond in, which is a good sign. If you have a tween girl who's become almost unrecognizably crabby and sullen, I say give it a try. It may turn out she wants you in her life more than she's letting on.
