Important Info

Any parent of a teenager should read this book. It is not your usual self-help manual. The author presents a truly different and effective way of perceiving erradic teenage behavior and in so doing offers a whole new world of possible and appropriate parental responses to that behavior that will reduce the stress and anxiety for both parents and their teenage children. If you want to survive adolescence with your sanity intact, read this book.

Must read

Having two teenagers, one of each sex, I found this book extremely insightful. It explains why they act the way they do, and tells how to "handle" these turbulent times. A MUST READ for all who are rasing or about to raise a teenager.

An absolute read

As a parent of a 15 year old son and an 11 year daughter, I HIGHLY recommend this book. It sat on my night stand for sometime, but once I opened the book, I couldn't put it down. It helped me to realize the differences and the similarities in remembering my teenage years and now being in the parental role, that life can be hard... some things have changed greatly while a lot of things are still the same. It is a very straight forward book.

Just what these parents need

This book came at just the right time for us, parents of a 13 y/o girl. Initially written over ten years ago and now updated this book deconstructs so much of the day to day interactions that we have with our teenager. It is almost spooky to see so many of the conversations written about in this book mirror so closely what we go through almost every day. What we may have already been doing "right" is explained well in these pages, and when it comes to trying a different approach for certain issues the instructions are clear and well explained. For us the most important thing that this book offers is a realistic sense about what battles to chose with your teenager--as well as the reassurance that, while the going is rough, most teenagers come out as nice people at the other end of adolescence.
