Summary: Others' experiences are most beneficial!
Review: To better understand teens,we must first realize what kind of dilemas they are faced with. Reading about every day dilemas involving teens and thier parents and effective methods of solving them by other adults and teens is truely beneficial. This "practical survival guide for parents" shows that there are numerous ways of dealing with the same problem, depending on the teen. Not every approach might be for your teen, but you are more than likely to find one that does. Taking another parent's solution and molding it to your teen's needs is a good approach to take. As a future high school teacher, learning about many different methods of teen dilema solving is of great importance to me. Some of the many important topics of Teen Tips are how to communicate effectively,talking about sex,role models,friends,school work & jobs,and taking on responsibilities by teens.I would also like to thank Dr.Carol Becker,from CSUH,for introducing this book to me. This is one book I will not sell back to the bookstore!

Summary: Teen Tips at your Fingertips
Review: Tom McMahon's, "Teen Tips" is a great manuel for parents with adolescence. It's categorized, so it's easy to just pick up and go straight to your interest without having to read the whole book. My husband doesn't often have the patience to sit down and read, so McMahon's practical, informative handbook works well at giving teen tactics at a glance. I found many of the parents suggestions valuable and have implemented some in my own home. It was conforting as a parent to read about commonalities in the experiences of raising a teen.

Review: With much enthusiasm I welcomed the book into my readings and I am greatful for it.The format this book was written in, gave it creadability. It is nice to be reminded that other parents are going through the same situation my parents went through with me. The intergration of different people from different locations in the country helps the reader to connect with parents from across the nation. Parents and their methods of dealing with their teen's issues were creative and seem simple to understand. Along with real parents sharing their methods in raising their children, the information given by the author, was excellent in letting the reader understand what issue the parents was dealing with. So finally, if you want to be in a good relationship with your teens then read this book.
