Quotes to ponder:
"People who know how to choose good friends look for steady confidantes, and people who like you for who you really are."
"When we empathize with our daughters and reflect back what they are saying, they can hear themselves think, they are also more likely to come to their own conclusions on how to manage their own social situations."
"If a parenting blog's advice doesn't feel right for you or for your kids, it probably isn't. Trust your gut."
