Good Reading Practical Information

Good information for anyone involved in raising a teenager. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles----they can benefit too.
Extremely practical and useful...

This is by far the most practical, useful, and insightful book I've ever read in regards to parenting. Teens are the hardest to understand, but everything in For Parents Only makes total sense. I have two teenage boys and the scenarios describe them to a "T" to the point where I had to laugh. They really are typical teens. The tidbits of wisdom in this reader-friendly book are incredible and the advice should work if applied correctly. In fact, I tried a few things myself and the results were amazing. :) It's a quick read, but I guarantee if you get it you'll not only want to go back and review the subject matter every once in awhile, you'll want to get copies for your friends, too.
straight from the horse's mouth

After surveying 427 teens, in addition to the many teens they talk to at speaking events, the authors put together the data in this book. They also discussed the data with "experts" to help them sort out what they learned. This is more of a "here's what your teen thinks about the world" rather than a parents how-to book. It's an easy read that really does help you get inside you kid's head. Another great book about parenting teens is Dr. Michael Bradley's "Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!"
Great book on parenting teens

This is one of the best books on pre-teens and teens I've read. It is very easy to read and has tons of helpful information. Read it before your kids enter the pre-teen years...you'll be glad you did.
For All Parents

It's a scientific fact that parents do not understand teenagers. In fact, the only people who understand teenagers are other teenagers--and Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa A. Rice. The authors took a nationwide survey of over 1000 teens. I am overwhelmed at their dedication. They don't endorse bad behavior, and they point out that there are exceptions for every rule, but they cover a lot of subjects that have kept parents bewildered since Adam and Eve raised Cain and Able. The results may surprise you. Have you ever wondered why your teen won't talk and when he does it's nothing you want to hear? Wonder why she ignores your advice, but can quote from memory what her peers are saying? It's all between the covers of this book, along with some really surprising comments from teenagers, both boys and girls. Feldhahn and Rice have done a great job of writing a guidebook for parents of teens. For Parents Only is a book the reader will read more than once. Recommended for all parents.
