Meet Me in the Middle: 8 Mother-Daughter Conversations about Life and Faith

You can have an open and trusting relationship with your teenager. Mother-and-daughter team Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney write in alternating chapters to you and your middle school/early high school daughter in this unique, interaction-prompting book that will help you grow in connection, communication, and faith. Some conversations between parent and child don't happen until a crisis forces them to occur. At that point, defenses go up, lines are drawn, feelings are hurt, and solutions seem out of reach. But what if those conversations happened before a crisis? This book helps make that happen. As leaders at one of the country's largest churches, Sandra Stanley and Allie Stanley Cooney not only have professional backgrounds working with young people, they have walked this path together. In Meet Me in the Middle, they draw on their experience to help you: - Use eight planned opportunities to have comfortable discussions with your daughter about the topics you care about most - Learn natural ways to communicate your faith - Hear firsthand what your daughter is most stressed about - Help your daughter navigate fear and anxiety - Approach the tricky subjects of friends, boys, and dating Discussion questions, Scripture, activity ideas, and outing suggestions in Meet Me in the Middle help pave the way to a strong, trusting relationship. As you and your daughter step toward one another, you'll explore how you both can: - Grow in faith as you find your identity and self-worth in Christ - Avoid the comparison trap - Nurture healthy relationships - Keep communication open Meet Me in the Middle guides you to a loving, trusting relationship with your tween or teen daughter as you grow closer, seek out God together, and enjoy each other along the way.
