“As the parent of a middle schooler, I felt as if Judith Warner had peered into my life—and the lives of many of my patients. With clarity, compassion, and insight, And Then They Stopped Talking to Mebrilliantly captures the landscape of today’s kids’ experiences and the psychological, familial, and cultural forces shaping them. Along the way, Warner debunks age-old myths and offers practical guidance that every parent can use. This is a gift to our kids and their future selves.”—Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
“In And Then They Stopped Talking to Me, Judith Warner reminds us of the emotional, psychological, and cognitive demands of early adolescence—both our own and that of our children. With her usual sharply tuned ability to chronicle the traumatic in the ordinary, Warner reminds us of our primary role with our middle school children: to remain steadfastly compassionate and to help them make sense of the chaotic and unforgiving world they often live in. An indispensable parents’ companion for navigating one of the most challenging and extraordinary stages in life.”—Madeline Levine, author of The Price of Privilegeand Ready or Not
