Book Review - Raising Your Teenager

About The Book
When a teenager says, “I don’t need high school, I can make it on my own,” what is a father’s most constructive reaction? When Mom’s not-quite-grown-up says, “There’s no problem with pregnancy these days.” What’s a mother to say to that? Raising Your Teenager provides the solid, proven methods that actually work to help parents and teens develop the kind of healthy relationship that lasts a lifetime. From years of experience as family therapist, professor, author and father of three, Dr. McIntire examines the crucial moments in parenting and suggests specific reactions that will smooth the rough roads in daily family life. What reviewers say: "[McIntire] addresses typical teen problems such as: video game obsession, medications, drugs, diets, bad language, dating, sexuality, bullying, time and money management. He deals with them in practical ways that get results. McIntire gives particular attention to the roles of fathers-no book does it better-and it is an excellent guide for parents of teens. If I had to recommend one such book, this is it." - W. Joseph Wyatt, Professor of Psychology at Marshall University. "Raising Your Teenager is an invaluable guidebook-whether you are a first-time pre-teen parent or a veteran." -Wendy Summer, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor. "Immensely helpful and easy to read, with lots of cross-cultural relevance." - Dr. Lucy Y. Steinitz, Regional Technical Advisor for Children and Families (Africa), Parentsuccess.com - resources, tips and online bookstore for parents, grandparents and their kids.


My Take on the Book
This book allows parents to get a better picture of what to expect within their teenager , as we all know how different they can become. This book is definitely a guide for parents who are trying to deal with the task of helping their teenage children through this phase of their life. The book was filled with so many valuable resources, and the chapters are so easy to read. Each section was filled with nuggests that any parent of ta teenager would be glad to have in their metaphorical toolbelt.All parents at one point or another feel that they are over their head, but this book helps them know that they are not alone and instead they can be successful in helping their child survive these years (and help themselves survive as well)

If you think you would like this book as a part of your own library you can find it on Amazon!
