Ish Girl: One who has humorous grace with herself when discovering she's messed up or flaked out. Again.
Hey there and
Welcome!
I’m Amy, aka The Ish Girl, and I’m so glad to see you!
If you’re here, that tells me:
You love your kid like crazy! and
You wanna talk to your teen about the stuff that really MATTERS.
Wherever you are in your relationship with your teen, you want to connect on a DEEPER level. You want to be a great parent. You want to know what struggles your teen is facing. You want to help them walk through their difficult moments and their victories. You want them to open up to you.
But sometimes, you struggle to engage your teen in conversations.
Everyone Loves
A Good Story
I’m here to share the ones your teens are reading.The Young Adult books that can open the door to great conversations about hot-topic issues, like
healthy friendships
dating
bullying
suicide
and sex.
Books so good, even teens can’t resist engaging.
And along the way, we’ll talk about relevant parenting tips and techniques to connect with your teen.
