	Grandparents.com, “Having ‘The Talk’: Body Image” Annie was interviewed for this article by Paula Silverman, 1/27/09 – If grandchildren confide in you that they are considering radical cosmetic procedures, discuss with them how this is not a decision that they should make impulsively. By encouraging them to sit down and think it through, you can play a major role in helping them make informed choices. “Hormonally, teens are all over the map — their brain development is not at a place where they can evaluate themselves and do a good job of predicting outcomes of choices,” says Annie Fox, an online advisor for teens and the author of Middle School Confidential: Be Confident in Who You Are (Free Spirit, 2008). “Therefore, they’re more likely to make choices they’ll later regret, from their need for peer approval. Grandparents can be a wonderful antidote to the stresses of peer group, school, and home, as they are less likely to have ‘carved-in-stone’ expectations of the child. Grandparents also have fewer short-term expectations than parents, so it’s easier for the child to just ‘be’ with a grandparent.” ... More »

	Daughters Magazine, “Is Multi-Tasking Good for Her?” by Annie Fox, 9/06. Lots of us think that we’re more efficient when we do more than one thing at a time. And women are presumed to be born multitaskers. Personally, I don’t find it a superior skill. When I multitask, I actually take more time to complete what I’m doing, and I’m more likely to make a mistake. When you also factor in the inevitable stress and the emotional detachment resulting from being so “scattered,” well, it doesn’t make a great case in favor of multitasking. More »
