My 12 year old has anxiety and other difficulties with school work. She gets fussy, whiny (yes, like a toddler) and is downright rude at times. I can handle it for a while, but there’s only so much I can take.
I’m in the process of getting her the external help she needs, but in the meantime, can you experts suggest me a book to help me keep my cool and support her?
Thanks in advance 🙂

Maybe you’d like Good Inside. Much of it is geared towards younger kids, but the core principles can be applied to all ages. Things like trying to find the most generous interpretation of your kid’s behavior would help you.
Maybe try art, Lego, crafting.
