Average Rating: 
Rating:  - This book is invaluable
I too found this book while browsing for books on parenting teens and it was the best of the six I read. I've passed on my copy and told countless others about it. It's organized around a simple theory about control. Of all the books, I found the strategies laid out in this book for communicating with teens to be the most natural and more importantly, effective. Highly recommend.
Rating:  - i just browsed the sparsely available amazon materials
and all i can say is that it reads like those magazines you get in the mail that are enticing you to subscribe so you can be thinner or have better cardiac health or learn the secrets of eliminating aging. it reads, in other words, like a salesly pamphlet, and not like a treatise of value. so that is my two cents. perhaps the authors will think on this, and rephrase the opus so as not to seem like two-cent schillers. or perhaps this will enable potential buyers to look further in their pursuit ...

I have just gotten done referring someone to this book... for about the 20th time. I discovered this book about 10 years ago, don't remember from who or where... but I can tell you that it has been my bible! I reference it continually.

We have established a wonderful, respectful relationship with each other, and I owe ... Read More
Rating: - A Fresh Perspective...
This book challenges parents to examine the underlying reason that teens act the way they do.....namely, that they are moving toward independence. They need to figure out the world and their place in it as separate from their parents. Kirshenbaum gives examples of ways in which teens assert their independence and gives ideas how parents can facilitate this process while still giving their teens loving guidance.
A great resource for parents during the maddeningly difficult teen years.
Rating: - Breath of Fresh Air
I found this book to be a loving and humanistic approach to childrearing with respect for your children as individuals, and offers appreciation for their changing needs as they grow older. As a matter of fact, I think this book is a wonderful perscription for ANY close relationship.
