I don't know how to be a mother to an older child

Posted by Dinah on June 24, 2006, at 8:10:02

I just don't have good role models. The parenting books seem to concentrate either on little kids or on difficult older kids.
This age is all about boundaries and separation, and I just didn't learn all that stuff.
I feel so totally inadequate.
Does anyone know of any good resources on being a mother to a tween?
