Anyone Know of a Book...

That might help my dh. He and my dd10 are fighting constantly. A lot of it is her, but I keep trying to explain to them that she is growing up and their relationship is going to change. Not necessarily bad, but he has to realize she is not a baby. The way they interact will change some and beacuse she still is somewhat young, sometimes she wants the old relationship (play fighting, picking on each other etc.) then all of a sudden she will flip on him and tell him how mean he is lol. He is really struggling and unless I can help them two of them work through this I think their relationship is going to get worse and worse.  Just curious if anyone has been through this or has any ideas or maybe a book recommendation on it.

I bought a book called Parenting Teens with love and logic. My daughter isn't a teen yet but I have found it very helpful. I have found that you have to pick your battles. Taking away things that are important help me if my daughter gets snippy.

Thanks for the info on the book. I read the original that applied more to little kids. I love the concept, however, my son has ADHD and reactive attachment disorder. Many of things that work when you start at the beginning are not as effective when you begin with a 5 year old. I do use those concepts when I can and will get the teen book. Even though he's only 11, I feel like I'm dealing with a teen ager. He began the eye roll when he was in kinder garden, so I knew we'd be in for ride.
