Summary: As parents, we generally talk too much.
Review: I would love to give the book a 10 rating, but frankly, I've just finished it and they haven't grown up yet, so I'll write another review in six years or so. Excellent advice to parents on not embroiling themselves in battles with adolescents. Now if I can make it work.

Summary: Understand your teen before you read another doctors book
Review: I'm a teen who happened to read this book. It's all bull. Every teen is different and you cant categorize all of them into one group. And maybe it is you....parents do a lot to influence their kids growing up. Otherwise there wouldn't be so called "good kids " and bad kids....people and ADULTs especially dont even care to find out from us instead you have to read a book thats not even reality! So ask your kid before you try to understand them with a book because then you'll never understand... This book caused me and my rents to drift further not closer!

Summary: A reader from Massachusetts
Review: If you have a teenager, you must read this life changing book. The book offers a great understanding of the teenage years and concrete examples of how to greatly reduce your confrontations with your teenager.
The book is intelligent, humerous, and easy to read.
I've read several books on teenagers; and this was the only useful book.
It is the only book you will need.

Summary: Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl
Review: If you want to get depressed buy and read this book. Wolf spends 80% of his time writing about deep and dark problems and maybe 20% on solutions. If you want a positive book with real solutions get Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers.

Summary: The truth shall set you free....
Review: It's true! All the guilt feelings, the wondering if you are doing okay as a parent, the worry over your child's behavior (or lack of), the horrible sense that you just may have created a monster - it all goes away with this book. And pleasantly too! Any parent of teenage children will appreciate this book immensely. Sometimes just knowing that you are not alone is enough. Enjoy!

Summary: Why do teenagers act the way they do?
Review: Many parents of teenagers feel that their world has suddenly been invaded by creatures from another planet. What once was a well-behaved child has suddenly become a disrespectful, obnoxious creature with no consistency or logic whatsoever to their behavior. Anthony Wolf takes us on a wonderful trip to their planet to help us to understand what is going on in their world and why they act the way they do. Sharing the knowledge that he has accumulated over years of counseling, he shows us that, believe it or not, teenagers often do make perfect sense! With a witty writing style he shows deep insight into why teenagers act the way they do, why girls and boys generally deal with teenage feelings differently, the perils and problems of each and how these fears and feelings manifest themselves in the teenager's actions and language. Filled with positive advice such as knowing when you have won and need to stop instead of continuing a battle, how to pick your battles, and how not to get sucked into a battle that really has nothing to do with the subject being discussed. Some of the most important points that he makes includes the fact that it is a temporary situation and soon they will be past the teenage years, you will not make the right decision every time and it is okay to make a wrong one, and what you do now does make a difference even though it does not appear to have any effect right now. A highly recommended book for parents who want to understand what their teenagers are going through and how they can appreciate and help them through those difficult years.

Summary: Too Simplistic
Review: My impression, and it comes with the experience of parenting two teens, is that this is just another of the current books that try to boil very complex issues into one or two key factors. The author makes broad generalizations about all teens, and then tells us how to react. Sorry, it's not that easy. Take your kid to a ball game, buy her a malt or go for a walk and just talk. You'll learn so much more than in this book.

Summary: If you are here, You must read this book.
Review: My son's psychologist reccommended thi book to us. He is ADD and Oppositional. The book has great insght and humor. If I didn't know better I would say that the author was writing about my son. My only regret is that I didn't find this book when my son was 13 and not 16. Read it. You will read it over and over. My copy is already dog-eared.

Summary: Get Out of My Life. . . A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager
Review: Outstanding! I read numerous books trying to learn how to get along with my teenage daughter because I sure couldn't do it alone. From the very first page, I felt like this book was about us. I found that our problems were not unique and that there really was a better way to deal with the situation. It turned me completely around and conflicts have been minimal since reading this book. I recommend it to everyone who is fighting with their young teenager.

Summary: Get out of my life, but first could you drive me and cheryl
Review: Read it and weep. Keep reading it. Don't forget it. When you forget it and start cursing at your teenagers, pick it up and read it again...and again...and again.
They are strange people, these teenagers. This book allows us to allow our teens to be different people than the children we raised. EVEN THOUGH IT DRIVES US CRAZY. Don't fight this battle alone. Read this book. Keep reading it
