Book Review - Keys to Parenting Your Teenager

About the Book
Proven techniques to understand and deal with common teen behaviors. Dr. Don Fontenelle describes normal adolescent behavior patterns in common situations including interactions with the internet and violence in schools. He points out that rebellion and anger are part of every teenager's healthy drive toward maturity and independence. Using easy-to-read language, he provides proven methods that enable parents to interact with teens on a daily basis-and know when to consult a professional.

About the Author
Don H. Fontenelle received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Oklahoma State University and has practiced in the profession for more than a quarter-century. He has spent most of his career treating children, parents, and teachers. He has authored thirteen books on the subject, some of which have been translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic. His workshops on child and adolescent behavior have been widely praised. Fontenelle is in private practice in Metairie, Louisiana.

My Take on the Book
What I loved most about this book was how practical and how easy it was to understand the concepts that were being shared. The author has laid out so many great ideas for how best you can connect with your child while avoiding the pitfalls and arguments that many times come in the teenage years. As I mentioned the book was very easy to understand and implement and as my daughter gets ready to enter her tween years I know that this book will be an extremely valuable resource for me!
