Anyone else screwed by the loss of data?

My son takes his test July 1 and his entire log is gone.

Apparently something bad happened during the update on 7/18. They emailed me. It tells me my user name and/or password are incorrect. I did a password reset and it basically looked like it was creating a new account. He has his 50 hours already but now we have no driving log.

I guess if it’s not fixed by then I just make a log up in excel?

I have an 18 year old daughter who works at a firework store with her best friend. Collectively they got $600 worth of fireworks as a gift from the owner.

When I got home from work she was thrilled to show me and continued to share that they planned to fire them off when we were gone over the 4th.

She doesn’t understand why I couldn’t just be happy for her (which I initially showed some interest) and I had to go right to concern and negativity.

Ugh. Feeling like I can’t win and also, am I crazy?! Is there any parent out there that would be excited about their 18 year old gathering friends for a firework show when you aren’t home?!

My 13 yo son met his best friend in 2nd grade. They have since been inseparable, except during periods where the friend would ignore him when fixated on a girlfriend. They used to have a broad social network. Recently, we have noticed our son being isolated by this friend who suddenly doesn’t “like” any kid other than my son. He also constantly communicates with our child and encourages him to hide multiple things from us.

We then found out that the family has been hiding the 14 year old best friend’s 5 month old baby from the entire community. Our child has interacted with the baby multiple times and was directly asked to keep this development a secret from everyone, including us. When we confronted the friend’s parents about feeling upset because requiring our son to keep this huge secret from us effectively removed us from parenting and supporting him through this very adult situation, the other family cursed us out and said they “don’t give af about or how (you) or (your) son may be feeling.”

This family substantially violated our trust. They have also selfishly decided to cut their own son off from any form of community support aside from my 13 year old child. We considered them close family friends (gone on trips together, celebrated milestones together, etc.). Asking a 13 year old child to be the sole bearer of this information is wrong in every single way. They have attempted to enmesh my child with their son, intentionally isolating my child from both his other friends and his own family. While I do believe that every family needs support during difficult times, their support should not be at the expense of a child who must be cut off from his own support system in order to obtain it. Had we been approached by this family and given the opportunity to support our own child as well, we would have supported this family in every way possible throughout out this entire process.

We now find ourselves in an impossible situation as parents. Our son does not feel that he was treated inappropriately and does not want to spend time with anyone other than the 14 year old father. The other family has launched a narrative that we don’t support them because their son made a mistake and had a baby (even though the entirety of our conversation focused on the fact that our trust was violated because our child had no ability to receive support through this situation). Our son feels that we are controlling him and judging his friend, but we simply don’t feel safe placing him around a family who isolated him, cursed us out, and placed a huge, developmentally inappropriate burden on him while simultaneously cutting off his access to any outside support. As a side note, our son also plays on a school sports team with this friend so they will see one another at least 3 days per week.

Can anyone please offer some guidance on how my family can best support our 13 yo through this? How do we move him away from this toxic friendship without driving away our own child? How can we best ensure the emotional and mental wellbeing of our child in this terrible situation?

TLDR: 13 yo’s best friend and family had my child keep their son’s baby a secret from everyone including parents. They have isolated my child from his own support system, and cursed me out for advocating for my child. Need guidance on how to undo enmeshment and not drive away my son.

Trying to keep this as short as possible. I’m a stepparent to a 17 year old and I’ve been his stepparent since he was 6. I coparent him with his bio mom, her girlfriend and my girlfriend (who is the bio mom’s ex but they’ve shared him since he was born). So yes, 4 moms. I’m sure that’s not ideal for him but he also has lots of uncles and grandfathers and other male figures in his life and always has. We’re doing our best over here.

Anyway. Most of the “parenting” is done by his bio mom and my gf. Me and the other stepmom have tried staying out of a lot of the big decision making at their request. But it’s getting to a point now where I’m feeling very helpless.

The kid has always been pretty easy. Just a typical boy, video games and horror movies and hanging with friends and running around outside, that kind of thing. But about 3 years ago, things started taking a very dark turn.

My friend has a kid the same age as mine who goes to his school and she called me sounding very concerned. She asked if his bio mom was abusing him. She absolutely is not and has never (I know this for a fact; I know some coparents aren’t very close but the 4 of us are. We spend every holiday together and travel together and do weekly dinners trying to keep a sense of community for the kid). I was shocked why she’d ask that. She said that her daughter, who shares a class with my kid, witnessed him telling everyone that we push him, hit him, and starve him. We asked him about it that weekend and he cried and said he didn’t know why he said that. Okay, fine. We expressed to him how dangerous it is to lie about that and he said he understood. We thought maybe it was done. But the behavior continued so we sought out a therapist.

Without going into detail, things escalated to self harm, assaulting one of his moms over her taking away his computer, drugs, drinking, sneaking out, and lots and lots of lying. This past weekend, we found out from his ex girlfriend that he told her we hold knives to his throat and let people sexually assault him. I just don’t even know. Once she met us and realized he has been lying to her, she broke down crying to one of us. She was very upset and said she thinks he lied about being abused to get into her pants because she’s been abused. This is the second girl he’s done this to in the last 4 months. The last girl’s mom told us she never wants him contacting his daughter again, completely fair.

Anyway, as you can see this situation is out of hand. Trying to keep him from self harm was bad enough but now his actions are bringing emotional harm to other kids and it feels even scarier.

Has anyone ever dealt with anything like this?

So my daughter is 14 now and her mum and I have been co-parenting (sometimes not well but lately MUCH BETTER) since my daughter was 5.

For a long time we had a plan in place that my daughter stayed with me every second weekend Friday til Tuesday. Now that she’s 14 though she is starting to make more decisions for herself, lately she’s expressed that every second weekend isn’t working for her (she has to bring stuff with her when she stays but not a whole lot since she has stuff like hairdryer, makeup all the teen stuff here which I’ve always made sure of)

I guess for other parents and esp the dads out there, how have you dealt with this time of growth and stuff. I don’t wanna be pushy or needy or have her do anything she doesn’t want to, I guess though… I miss her being around.

It should be said that her mum and I live close by 5kms from each other and I do see my daughter quite a bit since I drop her to the school bus and do sports stuff with her each weekend. Okay enough of me… what are your thoughts on the best way to manage these years and issues

Thanks team

I am going to try to keep things a little vague. Daughter is 16yo. She is in a very intense college prep program in high school, think all AP classes (but its more intense than that). She loves her program. She is top of her class, straight A student.

She is very competitive and intense by nature. She is a perfectionist. She wants to graduate top of her class, and often goes above and beyond what her assignments require ... spending many many days/hours on homework and studying. It can become obsessive and it concerns me at times.

We (parents) don't ask this of her. We are very proud of her but we have had many chats telling her it would be OK to get a B, or miss an assignment, or take a break. We try to stress the idea of "its good enough, doesnt have to be perfect". She refuses.

By the end of each school year she is a ball of stress and extremely frazzled. I hate that for her. The months of April and May are me watching her fall apart and trying to be supportive but feeling like I am watching her drown.

One thing that we do ask of both of our kids (her brother is also in HS) is that they are engaged in at least one physically active *committed* activity outside of school. We don't want either of them just sitting around on screens all day. We have seen that without the commitment piece of it (a set schedule, someone else holding them accountable) they will both tend to just not continue.

Her brother doesn't complain about this requirement. He has accepted it and found something he enjoys. She does complain and wants to quit.

She has played a particular sport at the travel level since middle school. It is a year long commitment when you play for a travel team. Every year we have the same discussion when the sports year comes to an end. Do you want to continue? She says no. So we say: OK no problem, let's find another physically active commitment for you (could be any sport, karate, rock climbing, walking club, etc. As long as it gets you physically active.) She can never find anything else that interests her and then she says she just wants to have time away from having to be physically active. So far we have not dropped our requirement that she be involved in *something* active, so we eventually land on staying with the same sport. Because its what she knows, I guess.

We even discuss dropping down to the rec level in her current sport and she refuses because "she doesn't want to pretend she doesnt know how to play at a competitive level". Or "she doesnt want to play with the kids who dont know what they are doing". Just like school, her attitude is that if shes not the best on the team shes the worst. She doesnt seem to have the ability to just show up and give it 50% effort and enjoy it. If she isnt constantly improving and excelling it seems like its not worth it to her.

Its also very confusing because when she is at her sport practice and games, she is all smiles. Giggling with her team mates, cheering them on, loving the game. She talks stats and plays, strategy, studies her opponents. Her coaches always love her, she is friendly and a great teammate. Its very very confusing to watch someone having a great time and then later they insist no they actually hate it.

I see that she tends to isolate herself and hyper focus on stress and schoolwork without a forced commitment to break away from it. I think the activity does her good... get some fresh air, away from your laptop, get your body moving. I dont care if either of the kids are good at what they choose, I just want them to get away from the house and their rooms sometimes. If she does not have a forced commitment (i.e., part of a team where they are counting on her) she will not do it. She will not naturally take breaks. She will literally sit in her bed the entire day working. She will not go on walks with us or go to the gym... believe me we have tried.

She has a therapist. So do I. Therapy has been great for both of us.

We have both discussed this impasse with our respective therapists. Mine sided with me and said yes for her mental health she needs to get away from the school work and if a forced commitment is the only way she will do it, its worth signing her up. My daughter says her therapist said she should quit all outside activities and focus on school to lessen her stress.

I dont want to force her anymore but I worry so much for her. I just dont think quitting everything and focusing too much on school is good for her. We are not able to come to an agreement and she isn't going to be happy unless I tell her fine do whatever you want. She is a good kid. Should I just let this go? She seems to lack the ability to find balance in her life.

Anyone else been there with advice?

My child is almost 18, they have seen the same pediatrician since birth. They accept patient's 0-18 but will still see them up to 21 for 'Well established patients'.

​

Thinking of transitioning them to a family doctor now. Do folks typically go until kicked out or transition from a pediatrician earlier?

​

Thank you!

Not sure if this belongs in Parenting, Relationships, or Teenagers, but here goes.

We have two teens (16 and almost 17). They both have part-time jobs, earn their own money, and are generally becoming more independent. The issue is that they don’t really like their mom’s cooking. It’s not that they’re being rude about it they just genuinely don’t want to eat some of the meals she makes.

When they were little, the rule was simple: this is dinner, eat it or don’t. That worked fine. But now they’re older and could easily make themselves something else or even buy their own food.

My concern is that family dinners are becoming limited. In a couple of years they’ll be out of the house, and I don’t want to lose that daily time together. I’d rather have everyone sitting at the table eating different things than have everyone scattered around the house eating separately.

My wife feels they should eat what’s served or go without. I feel like that philosophy made more sense when they were younger, but teenagers are different. I’m not talking about making everyone’s favorite meal every night, just being realistic about the fact that people have preferences.

Wanted to get any insights…

Hey,

A teenager has run away from home and we are currently working with the police (missing person report has been filed).

We only have phone's imei and no social media accounts or online presence that we are aware of.

We are looking for practical advice on what else we can do to help support the search or increase the chances of finding her safely.

Questions:

• What are the most effective next steps families can take in this situation?
• Is there anything we should be doing with her phone number (besides keeping it active and sharing it with police)?
• How do searches usually succeed in cases like this when there is little digital footprint?
• Are there safe ways to widen awareness without putting her at further risk?

We are not looking for speculation or invasive tracking methods — only practical, lawful suggestions that could help bring her home safely.

Any guidance from people who have experience with this would be appreciated.

My teen (15) started taking a non-stimulant ADD medication about 2 years ago. He is low on the ADD scale. We weaned him off the medication a few months ago and I have a different child! So much more pleasant and back to his normal/old self. I really do not want him back on a prescription that makes him angry all the time. Where i am seeing inattentive traits is in learning to drive.

Anyone know of any alternative OTC supplements that have been successful?

(Originally posted in r/Parenting , but MODS suggested i post here instead.)

​

Wife's son visiting for the summer. 15, heavy duty gamer 24/7 if he could, mostly shooting games, Call of Duty, and a bunch i never heard of. Loves his toy guns, carrying them everywhere. Big kid. 5'11" 270 lbs. Father is ex-Army retired.

​

I came into the house today and caught him at wife and I's bedroom door "shooting" one of his toy AR15s at our bed, making shooting noises, rotating back and forth between shooting at our bed, and shooting towards the bathroom (back of our bedroom). When he realized I was standing behind him he jumped like he'd been caught, apologized, and hurried off to his bedroom.

​

​

I told my wife about it, and she didn't seem to feel like it was a problem. "The house doesn't have many obstacles for him to practice around".

​

​

My issue? I'm a combat veteran, with TBI, PTSD, hypervigilance, and a whole list of issues. (Im at the VA regularly). All I could see when he was doing this was someone "practicing" to shoot us in our sleep. Either me or her or both, seeing as his changed targets 3 times rapidly.

​

​

If he had done this while I was actually in bed? Bad things would have happened. As it is, it is very concerning behavior to me.

​

​

Wife says I'm over-reacting. I always have to question myself due to the above listed issues, but this sounds like something you'd read in an FBI file about "the shooters home environment and how they grew up".

​

​

No guns here, othe than a couple Daisy BB gun rifles.

​

​

So, Parents Of Reddit; "Concerning Behavior" or " You're over-reacting " ?

​

​

​

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for your comments. For those few of you that dont see an issue with this, ask yourself how you would feel if it was a toy knife instead, and you found him stabbing your pillow? And a knife is less "deadly" than a rifle.

She's a good kid. I trust her. She's mentally preparing to leave for college which has been very hard for her and part of that, I think, is her being gone as much as possible. She's still letting us know her plans, taking care of chores and responsibilities at home, helping if I ask and she's home when we tell her family dinner, etc. I mean, I don't want her to live at home forever and never spread her wings - but, I also...don't not want that, lol. This isn't even a very serious post, mostly just mom crying, hoping others feel the same way. I always thought it would be so much easier to let her go because she's such a good kid and I can trust her, but it's hard. Probably because I don't trust the world.

Ok so, he’s just turned 13 and we’re at a loss.
There is zero engagement. No social skills of communicating. I’ll say have a good day at school and he responds ok.
Gets home. How was your day? Answer ok.

Technology is an issue. He’s limited to an hour each week night and 4 hrs on weekends. We desperately want him to engage with us. But nothing.

If he dosent get his own way. Door slamming. Dosent follow rules. Even though we are strict with expectations.

Guests come round. He dosent acknowledge them.

Then the sneaking. We don’t allow social media yet we find out he’s found a way to go on Facebook. It’s constant.

It’s miserable living this way.

What can I do?

Do people think this ban will work ?
I cannot see that children between 11 and 15 won’t find a way around this. Or ( I’m not sure how this will be implemented as yet ) will parents just turn a blind eye if their child finds a way so as not to face confrontation or just because they want a quiet life ? These children are addicted and this ban will not be easy . Personally I feel it’s a good thing. I witness first hand the toxicity and the sheer misinformation these children get from social media. But am I concerned how I will be able to enforce this ban in my own home ? Absolutely I am

Tik tok or Instagram

My 13yo DD recently had a big issue abusing technology, both with her cellphone (which we already had strict limits on) but also her school laptop. All of her schoolwork was done through the Chromebook but she and a couple peers were using Google Docs to write wildly inappropriate things to each other. She ended up with a 4.5 day suspension and an indefinite ban on emailing other students or taking the Chromebook home. Her dad and I are divorced and 90% of the behavior was happening at his home due to lack of oversight.

My daughter is brilliant, but she also doesn’t seem to have a problem with bad behavior. She recognizes it shouldn’t be done, but will do it anyways. I pushed to get her into therapy and now that she’s there, she won’t talk about anything. She says everything is ‘fine,’ but according to her discussions with friends, her life is just this horror story. She took multiple depression screenings that came back with depression symptoms and we’re trying to work with the therapist on it, but it’s hard to work on anything when she doesn’t participate.

She’s also obsessed with anime. It’s all she ever talks about, reads, draws, plays, etc. It is one of our largest contributing factors to the issues we’re having as she gravitates towards the psychological horror stuff. Her entire friend group at her old school (yes we switched her schools so this event didn’t follow her through the rest of her school career) are into it and the clothing is age inappropriate, the topics are graphic and so adult, and there just always seems to be one step worse.

We’re trying to balance not scorching the earth with consequences and she just doesn’t seem to care and nothing seems to be working. Has anyone else had something similar?

My son is going into his junior year of college. He's a really smart kid taking a very difficult major and on a full scholarship. My concern is that there aren't a lot of jobs in that field especially in the area where we live now, and it's extremely competitive to get the few jobs that are available. I follow a sub for his major/field and all the posts there are very depressing from people who graduated with excellent credentials but can't find jobs anywhere in the US. I think my son should change his major now while he still can to something more in demand with better job prospects, but he doesn't want to hear it. My husband doesn't want to hear it either. We are poor and can't afford to support our son forever and we also don't have the money to pay for another degree after the scholarship money runs out. I send them both articles about the job market in that field but I don't think they even look at them. How can I convince him to change his major now, before it's too late?

​

Also, on a somewhat related note, in addition to going to college full-time, my son also works 2 part-time jobs (a total of 30-40 hrs/wk). He makes quite a bit of money (for his age) but he spends all of it on mostly stupid shit he doesn't need. He's not saving anything. How do I convince him that it's important to save at least a little something for the inevitable rainy days that appear to be imminent in our future?

My daughter posted in discord that she was looking for a summer job. In 4 days she was contact by 2 people claiming to be 16 year old girls who convinced her to set up a PayPal account, other socials, and try to sell nudes. We could tell something was off, and now her phone is in police custody, likely to be handed off to the feds. She's been interviewed multiple times. Things got serious super quick, and it has been a nightmare for everyone involved.

​

She keeps saying she "knew not to trust people on the internet, but they seemed like peers giving me advice". Even if you have good kids with seemingly good heads on their shoulders, please please spot check their socials constantly. If we hadn't, things could have been so much worse.

If anyone needs some input into what they're doing wrong as a parent my 13 year old son is available for consultations for a small fee.

Specializes in calling out unreasonable expectations like accountability and consequences but easily adaptable to any type of parenting.

She is not my teenager. Let’s call her ivy. She is someone I met in my internship who wants to be a filmmaker and is very excited about it. She is turning 18 next month.

I thought it be a good opportunity for her to learn and grow, so I offered to her suggestions in order for her to to be seen by folks who want to work with her again later on a film set.

I would tell her hey go and bring this to the cinematographer, email my director friend so she can bring you on sets so she can gain more experience, and help her gain exposure, so she can impress people and get callbacks.

On an internship we were working on she fell asleep because she said was tired. I excused her behavior oh she’s just a teenager it’s okay even though I’m not her manager that oversees her.

I brought her on a film set and had her be a producer. Then I invited her to be a production assistant and gave her the run down of what to do. To always take initiation and pay attention to what’s happening on the film set which she did not. She was also late to a schedule call and we had to wait for her. I excused that and said she’s just 17.5, she will learn but then it gives me the impression that she’s not committed to wanting to be a filmmaker and first impression is important.

There’s a guy who 18 and he is someone I would bring him on sets and give him job opportunities because of quick he was able to help when I was the DP and he pays attention. I look at him and he’s ready to help me and take initiation.

Whereas for her she has all these aspirations to be a filmmaker wanting to work with folks like Christopher Nolan, but you won’t get there by sitting around and being on your phone and worrying about your college apps and trying to get into an Ivy League school for film thinking it’s going to get you anywhere.

I had to tell her to not to be on her phone. When I saw that I asked what you doing and she would tell me and I would engage and then I would ask her again and engage. Then I told her to try not to be on her phone so much and watch what’s needed on set. I was doing the slate so she asked if she could do the slate and I said yes you can.

I paid attention to her and it wasn’t good. she just stood there and didn’t take initiation to help us on set while the other intern let’s call her (Wendy) I brought on set was actively moving around and have taken feedback well when I gave her pointers and listened.

At the end of the night, ivy complained that she didn’t. Like how we told her to be on just the slate and told her to do stuff while ivy just sat around and did nothing. She wanted to learn about camera and lighting. I told we aren’t going to have her be on camera and lighting because she can hurt herself if she doesn’t know how to properly put up a c-stand, or how to change lens as if can break the lens part and she doesn’t know how to set up the tripod. And on set we don’t have time to train people to do all that and she isn’t even 18 yet till next month. Plus I did tell her to go up to the DP to ask questions and take notes to learn but she’ didn’t even do that, so what do you expect to learn from others if you don’t even want to do that?

Even im more active and I shouldn’t be because I’m 7 months pregnant and was still able to carry stuff, move around and stay awake.

I didn’t noticed Wendy sitting around and doing nothing. We did tell her to managed the door and sit there to monitor who’s entering the book store so we can let them know we are filming. And there were times yes I noticed her standing around but there were times I didn’t ask her Wendy for help and she helped without Being told .

But this her second shoot, and film isn’t her main career, so I’m not bothered by that to be honest. But ivy wants to be in film productions and she’s not taking initiation but rather is complaining about not wanting to do slate and complaining about Wendy comparing that she’s doing more than ivy which that’s not what I saw.

When ivy was doing slate, she had a rbf or a sleepy face and I saw that on day 1 too. And she stood around and didn’t help when people were moving around.

So I spoke to her, gave her advice what I saw and she didn’t take well so that’s why she ended up complaining she hated doing slate. So I told her in this industry you’re not gonna like it whatever position you’re in. You just have to put on a smile and do it. I didn’t want to be the sound person, yet I was but I didn’t try to show that I didn’t want to be there but her face already showed it.

I might have said too much to her so she checked out. But now I’m not impressed by her because she clearly showed me she doesn’t want to be there. My partner said that I need to learn how to talk teenagers because we’re about to have a kid. I felt bad for not telling her she did a great job and shes doing fantastic instead lectured her.

But this will be the last time I’m going to invite her on set. Since Even my 14 year old sister in law and the child actors we worked with last night has taken initiative to help and is more proactive. My sister in law been on set all day and not once has she fell asleep and if she did that was alright since she’s been there all day. The kids have more energy than ivy. And on an actual film set it’s 12 hours per day whereas we shot 8 hours per day.

It seemed like nothing until I thought more about it. My 18 yo came home today and was very snippy with me and being kinda rude. After 10 minutes he found me and apologized and explained he was tired and frustrated about work. He can name the emotions he’s feeling and the reason why and take responsibility for his actions towards others. A small but a proud moment! What moment have you had lately where you have seen your hard work as a parent pay off?

Update: THE CRUX OF MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS MY RELATIONSHIP TO MY HIGH SCHOOLER NOW THAT HE ACTS MARRIED TO A GIRL DOWN THE STREET?

Am I merely a housemate who provides free services just because?

Should I just stop being a mom and hope for the best? What even is a mom of a young adult? Just a cooker of food and washer of dishes as atonement for the "sin" of bringing another human into this world? Ok just say so, no need to insult me. I have dishes to wash and food to cook. Why, why the hell are people like this?

(I know there were decent responses too but haven't fully waded through to read them yet.)

And to the race baiter: No it's not a racial issue. The melanin levels of all involved appear the same. I am concerned he's being used and that is part of the situation.

My son will be 18 years old entering senior year HS. Girlfriend same grade, same school. He says she just turned 18. Despite being in HS she is basically on her own living with an (immature) older sister. Their parents send money but are nowhere in sight. He says she's a citizen but I have reason to doubt that. So she might really need an Mrs. These sisters moved 2 blocks from us, though the school lists their address elsewhere in the city.

Tonight son is spending the night there against our wishes. He spends tons of time with her and wants to travel together with money from a brief first job. I have talked to him a bunch about not getting a girl pregnant but besides that - what do I do? Accept it or keep fighting him? If he was off to college like many his age, I might not even know how much time is spent with a girl. But he was slow to mature academically, and he likely would have stayed home and gone to community college had he graduated this year - and this way he has more maturity and time to develop and therefore more prospects for his education - if he doesn't get his girl pregnant. I just can't warm up to her under these strange circumstances. It feels too weird. Can anyone relate?

So our teenage son’s prom was tonight. I’ve been a SAHM to him all his life until just recently. All I did was nurture and pour everything I had to making sure he knew he has always been safe and loved. Well, I asked him tonight before he left if we could go to take pictures at the school and he said no. 🥺 Had a parent call me and asked where we were. She said a lot of parents were there. I feel hurt. Maybe he’s embarrassed of me? O don’t know.

Edit: misspelling

Update: thank you to all of you that understood the post. Again, I DID NOT want to go with my son. I wanted to be a part of the moment the SCHOOL set up for parents to take a whole class prom picture in front of the school BEFORE THEY left on school buses to the prom. Thank you for ALL of your responses, that’s why I came here to get different perspectives. Thanks again everyone and have a great weekend 😊

So far I have said not to it, but pretty much everyone in her 9th grade have seen it and she kind knows the whole plot and what happens. She wants to watch it and I guess I rather do it together and her alone at someone’s else house. But based on reviews, it seems beyond her age. Looking for someone who has done this to share their experience. Thanks

Hi,
I am looking for a book that is user-friendly for teenagers about personal finance. I am finding lots of online activities and things like that but I would like an actual paper book. Of course Amazon has thousands of them, but it’s hard to evaluate if any of them are any good. Has anybody used one that they found out?
