Rating: Summary: Fantastic Review: This tremendous book has helped restore sanity to a household which was in danger of falling apart at the seams. I have a 14 year old daughter and a 16 year old son who have definitely cottoned-on to the fact that when it comes to parenting I simply couldn't find my backside with both hands. They were threatening to take advantage of my haplessness. But I've adopted a new approach thanks to this book, and it seems to be working. Instead of bawling Stephanie out when I found a cigarette butt underneath her bedroom window, I simply told her about the recent study (which I just made up) which demonstrated how smoking gave you fat ankles. Dishonest? Maybe, but I'm almost certain she doesn't smoke any more. Similarly when Jonathan asked if he could get his nose pierced I gave wholehearted approval to the idea and suggested that it would be a great father-and-son thing for us both to get our noses done. 3 hours later, when he saw what a jerk I looked in a nose-ring he changed his mind.
Rating: Summary: The best book for parents raising teens Review: Whether you have troubled teens, average teens, or great teens, this book provides a plethora of answers for parents with questions about being the best parent they can be. The love and logic program teaches parents how to love their child by taking care of themselves and by allowing their teen to suffer real world consequences. The book is half instruction and half ideas and suggestions for resolving common teen problems such as parties, friends, drugs, sex, backtalking, etc. I'm going to make it part of my permanent library.

Rating: Summary: This book has ALL the answers we needed! Review: Writing a review that a book is excellent but there are excellent answers elsewhere, too, is absurd. That is not a review. It is a defense of other views.The philosophies in this book are easy to read and understand and apply, and they WORK. It is great for both the Christian and secular world. *
