Excellent Advice!

I found this book extremely helpful! I was constantly arguing with my teenage daughter and things have improved significantly since I read this book. Anthony Wolf offers both comfort and great advice for relating to your child. I found the chapter on conflict especially helpful as it allowed me to understand what goes on in the teen mind! I would recommend this book to anybody with a teenager and plan to re-read it when my younger daughter enters adolescence.

I love this title and it makes so much sense.

I purchased this book because my 12 year old son (6th grader), who has been my buddy his whole life, progressively was getting seriously moody, and really annoyed with (and embarrassed of me) at the drop of a hat. This was heartbreaking as a Mom, and I knew I had to look for some good parenting books for teens or pre-teens. I loved the title of this book and read the reviews on Amazon.com and took the chance, and I am very glad I did - and I have recommended it to several friends. As with any parenting book, not one book has all the answers, but if you get a sense of perspective about the phase of life your child is going through, it really helps! The story I tell the most is that lately when I ask my son a general question, for example, "How was school today?", I get a grunting sound back from him (I'm sorry...what?). I was so relieved when I read that this is normal behavior for this age. Just one of many great examples the author uses along with his good humor as he describes familiar scenarious. I love this book.

Light on technique but great on insight

An entertaining and reassuring look at the mind of the teen. I agree with other reviewers that there are few practical techniques for the parent. However what we needed most was to know we were not alone and that this was a normal part of our kids development. This book was just the ticket.

raised 3 teenagers , one more to go and still reading this book

A friend asked me why after raising 3 teenagers was i reading this book. MI have a 12 soon to be 13 year old. My reply was that this book just reminds me of where teenagers are and how to relate to them.

Good advice

This is a great source for things to say to your teenager (or tween). Makes you realize how what you say impacts your teen. How much control can you realistically have? Great book on cd to listen to.
