Summary: Turn Up the Music Will Tune Up Your Parenting Skills
Review: In this easy to read, easy to digest book, the author shares tried and true prevention strategies for any parent who has a child in school...in fact the younger the better to allow the foundations to be set. The music and lyrics mentioned in the book will touch parents of all generations. Jeff's explanation of how to create a code of ethics for your family and ways to keep communication between parent and child open, will help make the turbulent teen years much less turbulent. As a school counselor, I hope all of my parents will get their hands on this book!

Summary: Turn Up the Music Will Tune Up Your Parenting Skills
Review: WOW! What a terriffic book for anyone with a teen or tween. I learned so much about the music that I never listen to but my kids always do. So much has changed since I was a teen and this book described what to listen for, how to talk to my children about today's music and its messages. It taught me when to be concerned and when not to over-react. It tells a parent how to deal with drugs, sex and rock & roll in music and their children's life. I think that this book is a "must have" for any middle or high school parent!

Summary: a GREAT book for parents with teens
Review: WOW! This book told me how much music has changed since I was a teen (too many years ago to discuss....) and now. This is a great book for every parent of a teen or tween. It tells you what to look for to be concerned or what NOT to worry about. It gives suggestions as to how to talk to your kids about sex, drugs and rock & roll. This is the book for every parent that changes the radio station when a rap song comes on....or for the parents of the kids with the MP3 players in their ears so they don't have to hear their parent's music!
