I decided I needed a different approach with my teenagers when my son came home with a green Mohawk and a big Bush tattoo (George W., that is) one day and my daughter said she wanted to get a couple of nipple rings that would have sunk the Bismarck. This book really helped me take control of the situation. Now I have the green Mohawk and the nipple rings and my teenagers think I’m the coolest dad around, and they’re as obedient as can be. Who would have believed it? But I owe it all to this book. Highly recommended.
Rating: 5 / 5
This book is another liberal approach to raising teenagers, but it does have some good ideas about communication, i.e., asking questions rather than giving orders. The writers espouse no punishment because the child doesn’t get punishment in the “real world.” The examples of handling situations with teens include, “What to do when the police call and have your son in jail.” Most teens discussed are in serious trouble and have poor relationships with their parents. The kids are in charge in these households, not the parents. (The parents never read, DARE TO DISCIPLINE!) If you are desiring to improve relationships with adjusted children, this book is not for you, even though the writers have a few good ideas.

I found the book had some ideas that helped, but it was unrealistic in many ways. I am spiritual, but I didn’t appreciate the religious opinion it gave.

Being a parent of a teen for the first time, I was looking for some insight. I had heard many good things about this book. As I first started to read it I was greatly disappointed. This book strongly advocates lying to your children and being passive aggressive. If we are trying to teach our children good values and help them be adults of good character this book is unacceptable. I expect the same values in myself that I do in my child. If I had to resort to being maniupulative and lying to raise my child I would be very disappointed in my parenting skills.

Writing a review that a book is excellent but there are excellent answers elsewhere, too, is absurd. That is not a review. It is a defense of other views.The philosophies in this book are easy to read and understand and apply, and they WORK. It is great for both the Christian and secular world.*
