And this makes sense why?.......2007-08-27
So, if I'm to believe this book, I'm supposed to let my teenager (17 yr. old step-son)do whatever he wants. Whenever and however he wants. With no consequences. While I just cover my eyes, plug my ears and let him run wild? Pretend he's not being an abusive, entitled, disrespectful, disobedient, unruly, unlawful, dishonest monster? Can you say Anarchy?
When I hit the part where it blames the parents if their kid steals from them, because they *gasp* had the audacity to leave their own belongings out in their own house...it was time to toss it in the trash. This one could have been written BY a teenager. It's a perfect "how-to" book for getting away with murder (figuratively, of course.)
How is letting the kid run wild, with no fear of consequences, no guidance, no advice, preparing that kid for the real world? Sure, if kids actually LEARN from their mistakes, it's a wonderful thing. But when there's no consequences, what can they possibly be learning? And before somebody jumps in and tells me getting kicked out of school or getting arrested will teach them anything...let me ask YOU...is it the school's or the police's job to raise our kids? Or is it OURS?
I raised two teens myself, NOT in this manner, thank goodness. And they're both now happy, well adjusted, educated, contributing members of society. While on the other hand, my husband's ex raised their kids THIS way...ignored them and let them run wild. They've ended up with a compulsive liar, who also steals and does drugs, and a shoplifting pot smoker, who also lies daily. One can't hold a job to save his life, the other is mean and abusive. Why? Because they CAN. Nobody cared enough to teach them it wasn't OK to act like that.
This book (in my own humble opinion, of course) is a big 'ol cop-out for parents who don't want to put in the hard work raising their own kids.
A new perspective.......2005-11-20
This book helped the situation with my 17 yr old son. A lot of what is in this book goes directly against everything I've ever thought about parenting and it was scary for me at first, but I was desprate and we've had some positive changes because of these techniques. It took a few months, but he's back in school (he was ditching frequently), passing his classes (he was failing them all) and coming home on time every night (he was usually late or wouldn't come home at all). Basically, I've been trying to parent my teenager as if he were still a child. This book helped me to understand that it is natural for teenagers to become independent and, in fact, becoming independent is what they are supposed to be doing. The problem has been that I have been trying to direct my son to go in what I see as the right direction, and so the only way he can feel independent is to choose something different than what I want, even when that means making bad choices. Instead, this book advised me to let him find his own choices, within the boundaries of not taking advantage of me. It was scary, and I had my doubts (I felt like I was copping-out, giving up, taking the easy way out, etc) but this book has definitely helped our situation. Plus, now I feel like a person again instead of a warden.
Thinking back to when I was a teenager, I don't think there was any amount of intervention/ restriction/ punishment/ behavioral contracts/ trips to rehab that would have stopped me from doing what I wanted to do. I always found my first response to anything my parents wanted was to reject it totally and then think of reasons to support the rejection afterwards. I was a bad kid, but not because of bad parents or emotional distress...it was just my way of growing up. This book effectively addresses that mindset. Very insightful.
restore your sanity -- great parenting book!.......2005-02-06
This is probably the most helpful book on parenting I have ever read. I gave up on parenting books about 5 years ago when I realized the cookie-cutter approaches were not easily applied to my (and my son's) non-cookie-cutter lives! I purchased this book based on a review of a different book, where this book was recommended instead. I am really glad I did because from the very first exercise, it improved my whole outlook on my life with my teen.
The authors suggest to read the book through cover to cover first, then go through it chapter by chapter, working the exercises. I'm about half-way through the first read and I have already used many of the exercises (unofficially) to help me put things into perspective, regain sanity when teenage craziness is in full swing and have even used it in dealing with my ex-husband (who often acts like an adolescent!).
I have a great kid and a great life. This book helps remind me of that and also to know that I am not alone!
Only self-help book that ever helped.......2004-03-18
My ex-wife and I read this book almost 20 years ago, when our two kids were teenagers. Our daughter, the eldest, was acting up (and out)--breaking curfew, staying out, experimenting with different substances, generally going through a volatile adolescence--normal "individuating," it turned out (thank God), but it was driving her mother and me crazy because we lived apart and both worked full-time. Two employed adults are no match for one teenager intent on getting her way. We were at the end of our tethers trying to keep tabs on her. Somehow we found out about HOW TO DEAL WITH YOUR ACTING UP TEENAGER. We both read it, decided it made sense and was worth a try, and had a family meeting with both our kids. We told them we wanted to try a new way of parent-kid relations that basically boiled down to, mutual respect. When we told them we were going to stop trying to control them--ground them, harass them about schoolwork and grades, etc.--they looked at us suspiciously. Was this some kind of trick? Some sort of parental sting operation? No, no, we assured them, we were on the level. And it worked. Our daughter stopped driving us crazy, we stopped driving her crazy, and relations improved. I can say unequivocally that this is the only self-help book that has ever actually helped me (and I've read a few). I recommend it without qualification. The authors, as I recall, were parents themselves as well as psychologists, and brought both their practical and academic experience to bear. Bless them both. I still tell people about this book when I hear about problems with adolescence, and am glad it's still available.
MY highest praises for this one.......2002-07-26
A wonderful book for moms and dads who are wondering how their kids got so out of control...MAYBE its been your approach. Robert and Jean Bayard offer up a very loving parenting approach. Im giving this to my husband to read and then I'm going to read it a second time. One of the most intellegent books I have read on the subject.
Book Description
From the co-author of Field Guide to the American Teenager and parenting expert for "The CBS Early Show," invaluable advice on parenting teens.
At last, a book of sage advice that will help frustrated parents reconnect with their teenager and keep that connection even in today's often-crazy world.
The first step is simple: realizing that inside every teen resides two very different people-the regressed child and the emergent adult. The emergent adult is seen at school, on the playing field, in his first job, and in front of his friends' families. Unfortunately, his parents usually see only the regressed child-moody and defiant-and, if they're not on the lookout, they'll miss seeing the more agreeable, increasingly adult thinker in their midst. With ingenious strategies for coaxing the more attractive of the two teen personalities into the home, family psychologist Mike Riera gives new hope to beleaguered and harried parents. From moving from a "managing" to a "consulting" role in a teen's life, from working with a teen's uniquely exasperating sleep rhythms to having real conversations when only monosyllables have been previously possible, Staying Connected to Your Teenager demonstrates ways to bring out the best in a teen-and, consequently, in an entire family.

Fantastic book.......2007-10-15
My daughter is just about to turn 14. She is a great kid but in the last 6 months I had really had a harder and harder time talking to her. I found I lost my temper on a regular basis when she didn't do what I wanted or act like I wanted...I am about 75% through the book and I can honestly say it has helped me tremendously. I no longer get mad, I understand much better how to deal with her and that its not me. I have been able to apply some of the techniques decribed in the book and they work. Highly recommend to anyone who has teenagers.
staying connected to your teenager.......2007-08-23
I am about 1/2 way through this book and it is excellent, best book I have read about raising kids. I am trying hard to change the way I address my children as they get older and this book is certainly helping to open the lines of communication up. Definately worth reading!
Mike Riera is a the best in his field.......2003-06-07
Mike Riera writes about teens in a way that demonstrates his incredible respect for them. He helps us to take teens seriously, and not to dismiss their behavior as simply "dramatic" or "a stage."
He is truly gifted, as a writer and a professional working with teens and families. He is thoughtful, real, and accessible to parents and to teens. I use his work everyday to inform my own work with teens, and his books are an incredible resource to offer to parents.

A must for all parents.......2006-05-12
If possible, this book is even more useful than "1, 2, 3 Magic", simply because adolescents are more trying to a parent than a toddler, if that can be imagined! I suggest giving this book to every parent on their child's 12th birthday. I have eight children and wish I'd read this book first.
This is what I have been lkg for..........2004-09-02
I am only on tape 1 of 4, it's what I've been looking for, a must have for all parents of teens, for all parents. We have been raised w/ old tapes and bad memories of what parenting is, as the child gets older we need to become coaches, not dictators. I highly recommend it!! Plus, I don't have time to read my eyes out!! the tapes are great!
Excellent resource for parents.......2003-05-23
I am a clinical social worker and recommend this book to clients struggling with their teenagers all the time, and all who have read it tell me how helpful it is. The advice is clear and practical, especially in deciding when to be flexible and when to be firm. I also like the emphasis on maintaining a good relationship with your kids so you will have a good relationship with them when they are adults. Highly recommended.
When to intervene and when to let go.......2002-03-03
Dr. Phelan gives concise, clear ideas about how parents should interact with their adolescents. Parenting books often fall into the trap of a "one size fits all" approach to parenting. Dr. Phelan acknowledges that adolescents often have different temperaments and may require varying types of parenting approaches.
Communication between parent and adolescent is a tricky thing. It is easy to stymie the flow of information. He lists several "dos" and "don't" that may help keep the lines of comunication open. He illustrates each of these points with real-life vignettes. He discusses general guidelines for when it is better for the parent to intervene; when to just let go; and when to seek professional consultation.
I am glad that this title is available in audiocassette form. Parents today are often busy with work, home duties and carpooling. A casette, or anything that is practical and saves time, is great.
A common sense tool for parents of teenagers........1998-06-20
This book helped me realize that my teenager wasn't as "awful" as I thought and showed me what role I need to take to make this relationship with my teen enjoyable. Great guidelines of acceptable/unacceptable behavior for teens to help us 1st time teen parents. Also wonderful discipline ideas that are sensible!
Book Description
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.

This book offers hope and comfort.......2006-04-05
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.
MOTHERS OF TEENS--READ THIS BOOK!!.......2006-04-05
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.
I have read dozens of books on raising teenagers, but this is the ONLY ONE that has captured the attention of every member of our family. It's well-researched and fun, but most importantly, it offers 3 simple rules--Stay Safe, Show Respect, Keep in Touch--that our teenagers agree they can follow!! And when they slip up, it offers reasonable consequences that even they can swallow.
READ THIS BOOK AND THEN LEAVE IT OUT WHERE YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS CAN FLIP THROUGH IT. I am not exaggerating when I say that it will change the way you and your teens interact.
A Great Resource for Parents and Teachers.......2005-10-15
I did not purchase SEVEN THINGS YOUR TEENAGER WON'T TELL YOU AND HOW TO TALK ABOUT THEM ANYWAY because I am a parent. I do work with young people and their parents on a frequent basis. I also have to lead discussions about difficult subjects and have found many of the young people I have worked with in the pages of this book. I have also had to listen to parents and teachers speak about day to day issues with teenagers, suggested this book to them, and they too have found the same things I did. Professionally, the book piqued my interest. I also had a second motivation. I am attempting to write a novel and the main character is a father of four children, three of them in their teens. Like most people attempting to write, I want my characters to be accurate and non-stereotypical. I am not sure whether the book has helped me with my writing, but after reading it and recommending it to teachers and parents who have also read it, I can say this book is sure to become a godsend for many people involved in the lives of young people.
Jennifer Marshall Lippincott and Robin M. Deutsch discuss the issues facing teenagers and the best way parents can talk with them about these issues. The two present current theories about adolescents as well as the most recent research regarding adolescent brain development. They have insights as to why adolescents can lie, acknowledge the importance of friends in the lives of adolescents, but offer evidence that contradicts popular theory, namely that friends have more of an influence than parents and other trusted adults. This seems to be what prompted them to write this book and encourage communication between adults and teens in spite of what appear to be obstacles. The book is written in an upbeat manner and offers a number of suggestions as to both how to and not to talk to teens, offering sample conversations.
Some readers may find that they do not agree with all of Lippincott and Deutsch's points of view regarding the subjects presented in the book, but the methods they present for talking to and perhaps more importantly, listening to teens, both by what they say and do not say, can be invaluable to any parent, teacher, or youth worker whop wants to help teens navigate what can be challenging years and help them as they grow into healthy adults.
A Meaty, Practical Guide for Raising Teens.......2005-04-30
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 field of adolescence will want to know about this one. Don't let the book's trendy appearance deceive you; this is a work of substance that should be around to help people for a very long time. I particularly appreciated the clarity and fairness of the "Rules of Play" the authors propose as the basis for productive interaction between teens and parents. Unlike so many approaches, these rules of play promote effective communication rather than taking sides. This objective approach may frustrate teens with a rotten agenda as much as adults with a self-righteous one, but, if followed, will result in safety for kids and balance for parents. What an accomplishment!
Very Helpful and Insightful.......2005-04-15
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 each other. Wow. Indispensable.

Excellent and helpful.......2003-07-11
This is not an easy situation to find yourself in - the pregnancy of a teen - but this book really helps you look at the situation and consider steps to take. It also provides encouragment to the parent and gives you a chance to focus on your hurt in the midst of the situation, while still helping you help your daughter make smart choices. A fantastic resource for any parent who is going through this difficult time. Pastors would also benefit from reading and having this book on hand for when the situation arises.

This is a great book for any youth leader. It provides sensative and thoughtful insight into how hard it is for teenagers growing up in today's world. All too often, adults forget that they, too, were once teenagers.
This book uses sound Biblical references in trying to show teenagers that they are: 1) not alone, 2) their parents DO love them and 3) their parents are not out to get them!
I am using this book for an 8-week Bible study with 9-12 graders at my church for Sunday School. They found the 2nd chapter about the inside of your parents' minds hilarious and helpful. Yes, they DO believe there is a microchip in their parents' brains that is programmed to ruin their lives and their fun! The chapter on sibling relationships is equally well-done.
I think this book is providing good food for thought for my kids about how to survive in their families and make a difference, not only in their families, but in the world as young disciples of the Risen Lord.

Parents can expect to endure parenting boot camp .......2007-06-06
Author of such books as FUEL, DARE 2B WISE and PURE EXCITEMENT, Joe White has made it a career of investing in the lives of youth via his written texts and acting as president of Kanakuk Kamps. White now teams up with another prolific young adult author, Lissa Halls Johnson, to offer parents tried-and-true practical ideas for sticking with teens during the most emotional (good or bad) spaces of time.
White and Johnson open the book with some personal thoughts and a few cheerleading-type challenges to hang in there with teens, despite the seemingly endless parade of emotional roller-coaster rides, unexpected detours and personal disappointments. Readers get a sense that both authors truly love kids and have experienced the ups and downs of rearing these ever-changing, always transforming individuals.
Within a 13-chapter format, White offers quotes from anonymous parents and kids alike that punctuate and highlight each section's topic at hand. Readers will find these brief statements alternately funny and sad, but all ring true to family life. The authors then jump in with the "experiment" of parenting. Citing one family's wake-up call, both literal and figurative, White shares one couple's dilemma when being awoken in the middle of the night to find that their son had not only stolen from a friend's truck, he'd been drinking, taking drugs and was at that moment running from the police. During the conversation, the same son announces his plan to move to Mexico once his friend gets his inheritance at age 18. Talk about a "wake-up" call.
White then offers a few other examples of home violence and discusses how times have changed; what parents lived out as "rebellion" during their teen years no longer exists in today's violent, up-charged climate. He asks parents to think hard about the following statements. If parents can respond with a "yes" to any of these, then White says, "Wake up, your relationship is already stretched, strained, or snapped." Further, White tells parents in half-jest, "Welcome to the club."
* My teen doesn't like me.
* I'm embarrassed for anyone to know what my family life is really like.
* I don't want anyone to know what my kid is doing.
* I don't like my teen's choices.
* I want to fix my teen.
Following this self-check, White and Johnson get into the nuts and bolts of the text and discuss practical ways for moms and dads to gauge if behavior is normal, and if not, then to anticipate their teen's triggers, which may have provoked the unhealthy or rebellious behavior. White encourages parents that it is never too late to begin listening, caring and investing in one's family. Offering his own parenting missteps as "don't do as I did" case scenarios, parents will have hope and find direction. Much of the text is interactive in scope, meaning that parents will be posed questions that require honesty and humility coupled with the stamina to start over and over and over.
Within this concise handbook, parents can expect to endure parenting boot camp on issues such as forgiveness (offering it and asking for it), dismantling the verbal walls and reconstructing healthy ones, making time and spending it with the family, and committing to a never-give-up mentally. One of the most reader-friendly aspects of STICKING WITH YOUR TEEN is that every chapter is short enough to read in a single setting, but provides enough "homework" to practice on before tackling the next subject.

Great Book.......2006-08-20
I really got a lot of information on how communication w/ your teen is so vital. I am not a BIG reader of self help books, but this author has been there and admits to his faults as a parent. I really have enjoyed the challenge this book has to offer me as a mother. I am really enjoying my teen as I try to understand her more.
