Book excerpt: Every mom worries about their tween’s phone use, right? Probably, but what’s the worst thing that could happen? Tweens, phones, and social media can put any mom on edge. And some trouble Dawn got into when she was younger only ratchets up her anxiety as she parents her sixth-grade daughter, Kayli, through it. Dawn holds out as long as she can before letting Kayli get a phone. Then, when she finally allows it, she ensures all the “right” rules are in place. But it hardly matters. Dawn can’t prevent Kayli from messing up. And with each additional mistake, Dawn grows increasingly frustrated, which only makes Kayli want to hide her errors more. As their mother-daughter relationship gets put to the test, Dawn must figure out what’s really important before the consequences become permanent.
