156. Mom & Teen Daughter Talk about Knowing Your Value, Leading Your Heart, & Navigating Relationships, Book Pick #3

You may hear the phrase, "Follow your heart" but I teach my kids to LEAD their hearts.   I want my kids to be confident in their intrinsic value. I want them to know how to get control of their thoughts and emotions.  I want them to identify their life principles. I want them to know their self-worth is not dependent on someone wanting to date them. Abby (my 6th child and  college freshman) and I, Val Harrison,  The Practically Speaking MOM, recorded this three week series that continues the conversation about Self-worth & Identity, Relationships & Choices, about Guarding and Guiding your Heart.  When our kids reach the teen years or a little before, we like to start having them read some books on this relationship topics.  Abby read fifteen books and this three week conversation is about her top three book choices, what she learned from them, and in the process of giving the reviews  Abby and I talk about many important issues.  Join Val & Abby for episodes 156-158 as we continue with the ongoing occasional theme of self-worth and guiding your heart.Teen and Older Book Recommendations:1.
