Tips for Parenting PreTeens

Nancy:
Thanks for the tips. I pray something or someone will get through to my grandson. He is an 11 yr old who does not seem to respect anything his mother says or does. She is planning on remarrying in April of this year. He does not like his future stepfather. He talks unkind to him and comments about his employment, etc. The future stepfather is a loving, concerned man for my daughter, grandson and my granddaughter who will be 8 in February.
His father lives in Maryland and often visits. He was also fortunate enough to spend Christmas with his dad and two months in the summer.
He is in 6th grade and not performing in school! He was taken for counseling and the counsler said it was due to the parenting skills. Everyone seems to recognize this but, MOM.
How do I reach her, etc. before this marriage. As Dr. Phil would say, "I see a train reck coming".
My grandson is basically a sweet, loving child but, hurting.
I just need to sound off this AM.
Thanks
