must have ... August 18, 2008
Must have if your parenting a teenager. I bought it because I have a teenage grandson. I'm a substitute teacher and this book has given me a positive insight to understanding the teenagers I have in class. After reading through it I bought a copy for my daughter.

was helpful July 1, 2008
Was basically a book about a class the author had offered. But it did give helpful examples of what the teen said and what you could say differently to have your teen listen. I have bookmarked several pages and keep forcing myself to go back to the examples until I learn to react and listen in a way my teen will respond to. I would recommend this book and have already loaned it to my neighbor.

This is a great book - I encourage all parents of teens to take a look. Not only is it filled with step by step instructions, the cute cartoon samples make it easy to follow!

Easy read, some good ideas June 26, 2007

This book is an easy read and has some good ideas for the child that falls with one standard deviation on a bell shaped curve. It lacks addressing the special needs adolescent or the child that cannot be reasoned with.

Enjoy this quick read that so effectively helps you achieve the "impossible"--a loving relationship with your teens. May 18, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

Do you remember how supportive and understanding your parents were during your teenage years? Do you recall how you could confide in them, how they trusted your judgment and how appreciative they were of your help? br / For most, the answer is simple--"no!"br / Flash forward: Would your own teenagers consider you loving and understanding? Do they confide in you? Do they feel trusted and appreciated by you? And...do you feel loved, understood, trusted and appreciated by your teens? br / What gets in the way in the way of "yes" answers to these questions? In this book Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish explore the teenage years and help parents and teens get closer to "yes" answers. They show what goes wrong (e.g., blaming, name-calling, lecturing, playing martyr) and help both parents and teens develop an attitude of earned respect and appreciation for one another. Impossible? Think again--open the pages and hear the stories of parents who have just about given up on their teens--whether it's dealing with sassing, homework, chores, hanging with the "wrong crowd" ...sexual promiscuity, binge drinking, "experimenting with pot" or discovering that your daughter has plans to meet a strange man she's been hooking up with on the internet-- watch how the right attitude and skills dramatically improve life at home. br /Enjoy this quick read that so effectively helps you achieve what you might have written off as impossible--a loving relationship with your teens.
