As a parent of two teens (son-13, daughter-15) in a "blended" family situation, this book is a welcome relief. Dr. Rosenthal has done a terrific job of describing what is happening in your teen's life; why he/she has suddenly become a stranger to you and, most importantly, what you need to do about it now.

The book is very well-organized and written with warmth and humor in a style which is user-friendly without being simplistic. I highly recommend this book.

Be a Parent, Not a Pushover is an incredibly insightful and informative book. Dr. Rosenthal has done an excellent job of explaining the scientific reasons why teen behavior can change and then outlines a practical and sensible strategy to deal with these changes. This book provides the tools that every parent needs to enjoy a healthy relationship with their children.

I highly recommend this book to parents of all ages.

Parenting is often based on that which we have observed. If one had a good example of parenting by watching their own parents, great! I, was a foster-kid. My teen years were tough! I was pretty much left to try to figure out how to grow up and interact with adults, and life in general.

I wish I had this book earlier in my own child-rearing. The teen years are tricky. They can catch a parent off-guard. Dr. Rosenthal provides explanations, solutions and relief for every parent willing invest the time to read his book. STOP! Buy this book! ;)
