- Teenagers!!!
- Very good book. Full of information & examples of how to communicate with your teenager. I initially found this book at the library & checked it out. After reading it once, I decided I need to have my own copy for reference. This has been a good investment.

- At Home With 3 teens
- I have 3 teens so I'm always looking for tips on how to stay "in touch" with them. ParentsDigest offers the summary of this book, which I read, and now own the book - it's been an invaluable resource for those days when all I see is moody unpredictable teens. Now, thanks to this book, I remind myself that they're intelligent creative little PEOPLE as well!

- Condense the Info
- The info in the book was good but it could have been condensed in 100 pages. Writers sometimes get winded; just state the info and forget the meaningless stories. I did realize from the book that my son and I do have a great relationship... thanks for reaffirming the relationship.

- This is my teenagers owner's manual!
- Anyone with a teenager(s)in the house should do whatever is neccessary to make the time to read this book! I am only a few pages from finishing this book and this is as close to an "OWNER'S MANUAL" about teenagers as you're going to get. It will help you to better understand what's going on inside your amazing teen and enable you to help him/her through a most awkward (not to mention dangerous) stage of life. I wouldn't make your teen aware that you're reading this though, because there's alot of great info that a parent needs to know but may not want the teen to know that you know, if you know what I mean. And if you remember being a teen and think that will help you dealing with your teen, guess again. The problem is that when we were teens we didn't know the reasons for all the things that went on in our bodies as well as our lives. This book makes it all crystal clear, and understanding is the key to safety and harmony for you and your teen. If you love them and would like to regain your sanity read this book ASAP!
