YES, YOU CAN TALK WITH YOUR TEENAGER
Every teenager keeps secrets. If you’re like most parents, you worry about what your kids don’t tell you. In this guide to keeping pace–and peace–with teens, authors Jenifer Lippincott and Robin Deutsch offer a deceptively simple plan for talking to your kids that’s based on a simple set of rules: Teens need to stay safe, show respect, and keep in touch.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - This book offers hope and comfort
I picked this book up during a very stressful time. It is a very useful, comforting book that is rooted firmly in the reality that teens and parents face. It won't sugar coat things or offer glib solutions, but the framework proposed is durable and workable for just about every family at every teen stage. I'll read it again and again, and will recommend it and give it to people who are entering that teenage zone.
Rating: - MOTHERS OF TEENS--READ THIS BOOK!!
One of Mother Nature's cruelest tricks is to lock mothers who are marching toward menopause in the same house with teenagers who are fighting for independence. But finally I found a book that actually helped the hormonally-challenged generations in our house come to some important agreements.

Rating: - A Meaty, Practical Guide for Raising Teens
I am so impressed with the overall usefulness of this instruction manual for healthy interaction with teenagers. The sample conversations are never cutesy or forced but imminently practical and relevant. Lippincott and Deutsch have done a terrific job packing a ton of valuable content into a book accessible for busy parents and educators. The writing is clever and the content substantial. In addition to the impressive group of endorsers already praising the book from Elkind to Poussaint, I feel any expert in the ... Read More
Rating: - Very Helpful and Insightful
Terrific. I married into a family with a teenage stepdaughter. I had no children before that. This book has quickly become my most trusted companion. Just being able to refer back to the three rules - stay safe, keep in touch, and show respect - with my daughter has given both of us a firm place to work from. It's an enormous help in my dealings with her version of the truth, my too frequent need to control her, her good and bad friends and what she does with them, and keeping respect for the house, family and ...
