I wish I can say this was helpful or I gained more insight but I didn’t really glean anything that alters how I approach my teens。 It wasn’t a bad book but I’ve read more informative ones

If you need the advice in this book， you really need it， but the upshot seemed to be "teenagers are people who have thoughts and feelings; consider that"， and it's written in a very self-congratulatory 'and then everyone clapped for me' style， with unbelievable dialogue and few situations that didn't come down to "this child is not doing what I want them to"。 If you need the advice in this book， you really need it， but the upshot seemed to be "teenagers are people who have thoughts and feelings; consider that"， and it's written in a very self-congratulatory 'and then everyone clapped for me' style， with unbelievable dialogue and few situations that didn't come down to "this child is not doing what I want them to"。 。。。more

I had already read How to talk to kids， hence I didn't find lot of new things in this book （probably nothing new）。 Author forms a small batch of parents to teach how to manage teens ， and it seem whole book is written on just one experience of teaching this batch of parents。Though I also think， if I wouldn't have read How to talks to kids already， I may have rated this book higher， as I believe tactics given in this book works with teen as well。If you are looking to learn， more about teens from I had already read How to talk to kids， hence I didn't find lot of new things in this book （probably nothing new）。 Author forms a small batch of parents to teach how to manage teens ， and it seem whole book is written on just one experience of teaching this batch of parents。Though I also think， if I wouldn't have read How to talks to kids already， I may have rated this book higher， as I believe tactics given in this book works with teen as well。If you are looking to learn， more about teens from parenting prospective， I suggest reading Untangled by Lisa Damour - Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood 。。。more

This is the parenting version of 5 dysfunctions of a team。 Super easy to read。 Lots of actionable advice。 I wish I’d read it years ago （my kids are 15 and 13）。

I read this book a bit ahead of time， being as my kid is only ten。 The only other book I have read by them is Siblings Without Rivalry。There are a lot of good tips in here for speaking with your teen。 Parenting books often leave me feeling like I’m not doing a good enough job， or that the example teens on the book agree to their parents a little more quickly than I have found in real life。However， I decided I will pick just a couple of suggestions to really focus on and see if this helps。 I thin I read this book a bit ahead of time， being as my kid is only ten。 The only other book I have read by them is Siblings Without Rivalry。There are a lot of good tips in here for speaking with your teen。 Parenting books often leave me feeling like I’m not doing a good enough job， or that the example teens on the book agree to their parents a little more quickly than I have found in real life。However， I decided I will pick just a couple of suggestions to really focus on and see if this helps。 I think that’s better that feeling like a failure because I can’t do everything。 。。。more

I would actually recommend the other book by this author - how to talk to kids - because a lot of the techniques are very similar。 Also， topics of drugs and sex were pretty corny。 A lot of it felt like an adult speaking for a teenager rather than actual teen thoughts on these topics。 However， I liked the advice to not have just one awkward “talk” with a child， but to comment on any media that brings something dangerous or deserving of more attention to the forefront。 This allows you to casually I would actually recommend the other book by this author - how to talk to kids - because a lot of the techniques are very similar。 Also， topics of drugs and sex were pretty corny。 A lot of it felt like an adult speaking for a teenager rather than actual teen thoughts on these topics。 However， I liked the advice to not have just one awkward “talk” with a child， but to comment on any media that brings something dangerous or deserving of more attention to the forefront。 This allows you to casually and consistently build a teen’s consciousness and awareness。 It also establishes a casual and open back and forth dialogue rather than an uncomfortable lecture。 。。。more

Dated。 Sweet and optimistic。 Inner teen healing tings。 An offering to create compassion and spaciousness for for differing experiences。

Definitivamente es un libro que debes de leer， sobre todo los que convivimos con adolescentes。

Un excelente libro para poder entender a tu hijo， en mi caso poder ayudar a amigos y saber como tratar a mis padres。 La magia de este libro es más que nada el como esta redactado。 Un lobro muy facil de leer y entender ya que va contando como fueron las sesiones con los padres de familia y sus problemas con sus hijos， por lo que los problemas que se plantean enserio ayudan a cualquier caso。 Si llegan a tener algún problema de comunicación yo iniciaría por este lirbro。

Quick read。 Good reminder of all the things I should be doing， but I’m not。

I read this to improve my communication skills with my students。 Some of the advice is alright at first- validating emotions， trying to have a dialogue instead of admonishing， actually listening to the teen's problem， and so on。 But later it starts to get a little bit too patronizing and old-fashioned to be applied to teenagers nowadays， so I guess you need to take the advice with a grain of salt。 I read this to improve my communication skills with my students。 Some of the advice is alright at first- validating emotions， trying to have a dialogue instead of admonishing， actually listening to the teen's problem， and so on。 But later it starts to get a little bit too patronizing and old-fashioned to be applied to teenagers nowadays， so I guess you need to take the advice with a grain of salt。 。。。more

It's SO outdated， and kind of a drag to read。 They should make a new version for modern teens。That said， most of the tips are relevant for talking with anyone， so it still has some use。 It's SO outdated， and kind of a drag to read。 They should make a new version for modern teens。That said， most of the tips are relevant for talking with anyone， so it still has some use。 。。。more

I love these authors so much。 In my fantasy life， I would parent just like they do in their books。 I also love the structure and relatability of these books， with all of the real， concrete examples and cartoons。 I find myself taking lots of notes and pictures as I am reading。 Although this teen version was very similar to the version for younger children， it put all the same concepts into real life teen examples that I thought were super helpful。 It’s always a struggle to put parenting and self- I love these authors so much。 In my fantasy life， I would parent just like they do in their books。 I also love the structure and relatability of these books， with all of the real， concrete examples and cartoons。 I find myself taking lots of notes and pictures as I am reading。 Although this teen version was very similar to the version for younger children， it put all the same concepts into real life teen examples that I thought were super helpful。 It’s always a struggle to put parenting and self-help books into practice but hopefully I can remember and implement a lot of this！！ Highly recommend， but I recommend reading the regular version for kids first。 。。。more

A good reminder that the things we say AND how we say them are so very important in our communications with teenagers。 We need to listen to them without throwing our own trajectories of opinions and requests on them; let them draw their own conclusions about what is right for them。 This is not rocket science。 I think we all need to hear it every once in awhile。 My takeaway from this is to make sure my teenager is being heard。 She doesn’t need to be told what to do all the time。 Explain the situa A good reminder that the things we say AND how we say them are so very important in our communications with teenagers。 We need to listen to them without throwing our own trajectories of opinions and requests on them; let them draw their own conclusions about what is right for them。 This is not rocket science。 I think we all need to hear it every once in awhile。 My takeaway from this is to make sure my teenager is being heard。 She doesn’t need to be told what to do all the time。 Explain the situation to her， so she can draw her own conclusions and do what is best in that scenario。 We give our teenager a lot of freedom because we can trust her to make smart decisions on her own。 We just need to remember to be better listeners when she has her bad days and not to be so quick to get frustrated。 So basically， repeat everything she says in our own words。 Or just make lots of “ah。。ooh。。ok” sounds to let her carry on speaking more。 They are dealing with way more stressors than we ever did as teenagers。 We are thankful that we generally have a great relationship with our teenager。 。。。more

Hay partes que tienen drama y melosidad innecesarias， pero las técnicas están bien， es sólo cuestión de saltarse el capítulo entero y le sólo el resumen final de cada parte。

Great theory， but the things parents are talking about in the examples of this story are outdated and not the issues that need to be worked on。 （Ex: mother doesn’t like daughter wearing “suggestive” clothing）

Audio。 From 2005。 I was a little surprised at how outdated this audio recording sounded。 There is some really good content but it could really benefit from an updated revision。

Ένα ακόμα self help book που έπεσε στα χέρια μου 。。 απλοϊκό μεν αλλά έχει το ενδιαφέρον του ειδικά άμα έχεις παιδί στην εφηβεία。 Αμερικανια στον τρόπο γραφής του αλλά έχει να πει πράγματα για το παγκόσμιο προβλημα να μεγαλώνεις εφήβους。 Κάποια tips τα υιοθετώ。

This was a short， sweet book。 A good refresher after reading the kids version a decade ago。My favorite will always be “Siblings Without Rivalry，” but this book was good too。

Got very helpful advice。 Acknowledge kid's feelings， express your own feelings， respect your kid as an equal， try to use non-judgmental or even impersonal approach when discussing issues， respond to kid's complaints with jokes or fantasy to help channel their negative emotions without negative outcomes， etc。It's just that some scenarios sound a little too ideal。 I would give 4。5 stars if I could。 Got very helpful advice。 Acknowledge kid's feelings， express your own feelings， respect your kid as an equal， try to use non-judgmental or even impersonal approach when discussing issues， respond to kid's complaints with jokes or fantasy to help channel their negative emotions without negative outcomes， etc。It's just that some scenarios sound a little too ideal。 I would give 4。5 stars if I could。 。。。more

Short refresher course on "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen" applied to parenting and communicating with teens。 The format was unique， as it was a narrative of a parenting course the authors taught with dialogue among participants。 The principles are foundational， but the book itself wasn't amazing。 Short refresher course on "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen" applied to parenting and communicating with teens。 The format was unique， as it was a narrative of a parenting course the authors taught with dialogue among participants。 The principles are foundational， but the book itself wasn't amazing。 。。。more
