 A self evaluation April 8, 2004
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I found this book to be more of a self evaluation of oneself. I found it frequently brought up memories from my childhood experiences , some O.K., some not. Lots of self evaluation questions. It made me think some of the difficulties I was experiencing with my childs behavior stemmed from my own reactions based on my experiences. It is very hard to detach oneself from your own history. It does bring up some good points but I do not agree with a few items. It seems to refer mostly to older teens and not as much to younger teens ( 13-14). It does get you thinking though and so one can get good things from it.

I have been doing family therapy for 15+ years. This is by far the best book I have ever seen for parents of teenagers. I almost always recommend it. And I sure wish I had had it to read when my kids were teens. The biggest problem is it's hard to find. Now that I see that Amazon has it, that's no longer a problem.
Good ideas for raising kids of all ages January 24, 1999
An empowering book for parents. Written in an easy-to-read conversational text, this book has plenty of good ideas. It teaches how to raise children without using anger, judgment or manipulation. It even includes suggested exercises so that you can use what you learn in a very personal way. I'd recommend it!

Straightforward, clearly written guide to working with teens August 23, 1998

Useful for parents or anyone working with teens, this book provides ideas, situation descriptions and creative solutions to problems with homework, peer pressure, curfews and communication. Sensible solutions are suggested, sources for further information are provided. Very readable. This is one of those "why didn't I know about this book earlier" texts.
Thoughtful, caring book for parents of children of all ages. September 27, 1996

I really enjoyed reading this book. I thought the author's discussion of the subject was clear, concise and made (practical) sense. She paints a picture that is full of hope not the doom and gloom most people speak of when talking about today's teens
