I'm always searching for books on how to survive the teens years to recommend for the families I work with, and for myself with two teen boys! This book hits the mark. Lots of funny stories and places of encouragement so you don't feel so alone. Well done!

This review is from: How to Survive Your Teenager: by Hundreds of Still-Sane Parents Who Did and Some Things to Avoid, From a Few Whose Kids Drove Them Nuts (Hundreds of Heads Survival Guides) (Paperback)

I gave this book to my sister who has two teenage boys. I knew she needed help! How to Survive Your Teenager is filled with heart-felt advice from other parents that you can't get anywhere else--except from your best friends! Other books focus on right and wrong, whereas this book provides creative alternatives and solutions to the problems parents face everyday with their teenagers. It's also a quick read. The chapters are arranged by subject so you can just turn to the pages you need. My sister was glad I gave her the book and she's already put some of the advice to good use!

This review is from: How to Survive Your Teenager: by Hundreds of Still-Sane Parents Who Did and Some Things to Avoid, From a Few Whose Kids Drove Them Nuts (Hundreds of Heads Survival Guides) (Paperback)

I'm a fan of all these guides, but this one is extra good. It's full of great tips (and funny stories) from hundreds of parents who have raised teens or are in the process of surviving this chapter!

It's helpful to know that many parents have some of the same challenges with their teenagers. I bought it for my cousin who is terrified for her son to start driving!
