Product Description:
Normally confident moms and dads grow weak-kneed when their children enter--gasp!--puberty. Barbara and Dennis Rainey, parents of six teenage or older children, map out the unfamiliar, demanding landscape of both pre-adolescence (ages 10-12), as well as the teen years that follow. 'Preadolescence is when convictions are shaped; adolescence is when convictions are tested,' they advise parents. In Parenting Today's Adolescent the Raineys help children and parents build a satisfying relationship while forging a vision for a productive, God-honoring life-before, during, and after adolescence.

Rating: - Preparing for adolescence
Best book that I've read regarding parenting teens. Chapters are not too long, the topics are relevant to teen behavior and there is good guidance for parents.
Rating:  - Full of Wit and Wisdom for Parents of Teens
Dennis and Barbara Rainey are as engaging in the book "Parenting Today's Adolescent" as they are in person.

Sticking to convictions you set ... Read More
Rating: - Great book...
I was really concerned about how to deal with a lot of issues with our daughter and purchased this book and even though I have only read about 1/3 of the book it is GREAT! I like the way it is written, the scenarios and suggestions are down to earth and real and I intend to use the methods presented in the book when I am faced with adolescent challenges.
I love purchasing from Amazon it was very simple and straight-forward and the book quality was great!
Rating: - Indispensible Resource
If ANYONE ever felt the need for a parenting "How-To", this is it!! Not for the faint of heart though - as it pulls no punches and advocates a tell-all approach to upcoming obstacles and pitfalls in a teen's life vs. leaving up to chance or peer-information or just plain ignorance. Taboo topics such as masturbation are addressed with exact advice and timing suggested. The philosophy is "Don't leave anything to chance - inform your child BEFORE it happens while encouraging serious brainstorming and promoting ... Read More
