I found it helpful to have\u00a0some sociological context around what our kids (and we) are doing when we’re connecting online. She\u00a0demystifies teens’ behaviours and reminds us that, at heart, we’re all geared towards community so we need to stop being afraid of communicating with our kids … and with other people’s kids.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.19″][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”3.19″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/rowinggirl.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Screen-Shot-2020-01-31-at-13.30.54.png” align=”right” _builder_version=”3.19″ max_width=”35%”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.19″ parallax=”off” parallax_method=”on”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.19″]<\/p>\n Crucial Conversations: This is a great book to use in tandem with mindfulness.
