 Awesome book! December 28, 2008
I love this book! It is my second book that I have purchased from these authors. It is a "must" read!
Great help for parents of teenagers November 11, 2008
We have raised two teenagers somewhat successfully. They are 22 and 27 years old now. The reason I purchased this book is because we have adopted a 15 year old and her attitude and behavior have been a challenge. This book was recommended in the book "Adopting the Hurt Child" to provide practical tips for handling the control issues and power struggles. It has been invaluable to me and is helping us concentrate on our relationship rather than fight over everything. When using the techniques offered in this book, one needs to be prepared to exercise a lot of patience - there are no instant results. The reason for this is that you offer choices to your teenager and then let them be responsible for the consequences. And when the consequences are bad, you are encouraged to show a lot of empathy rather than saying "I told you so". This can take awhile for the teenager to absorb the lessons but I can see enough results very quickly that I know this is going to help our child accept responsibility for her actions and help her to make good choices. It also helps you keep showing love rather than anger to your teenager. I highly recommend this book.

I was first given this book when I left my son with a theraputic Wilderness Program in Oregon in the US. I travelled with my son from the UK to SageWalk, a therapy centre for Teens who were finding it difficult to fit in with their families, and who had fallen into bad and destructive behavour cycles. Although this book is written in a very 'American' style and can be a little 'cheesy' for the British way of thinking, it is still an extremely effective and helpful tool that can help struggling parents and their children. There are sinarios in the book that can quite easily compare to the problems and struggles parents have today and there are helpful tips that can prevent a parent from screaming at their kids which gets them nowhere. My boy has benefited greatly from this book and so have I. It is a two way journey learning how to be a better parent who can understand and communicate better with their troubled teenager. In the same way, if the parent takes on board the advice in this book then they will reap the rewards of having a well adjusted teenager and better family life altogether. Using the advice in this book helps to bring harmony and laughter back into the homes of families by offering help for today's teenagers' problems and gives the parents hope for tomorrow. I refer to this book often and have bought this book to give to a friend and I know she will benefit greatly from it too.
