Practical strategies for positive relationships with teens,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Keep Being a Parent, When your child stops being a child. A practical guide to parenting adolescents (Paperback)
How To Keep Being A Parent When Your Child Stops Being A Child: A Practical Guide To Parenting Adolescents was written to help parents understand the developmental issues of adolescence and assist them in facilitating the teenager's transition into healthy adulthood. Nic Cooper and Rick McCoy successfully collaborate to present practical strategies for creating positive relationships with teens who are testing their limits, and include worksheets to help parents examine their own family histories and personal issues. Practical, "reader friendly", insightful, and at times even inspirational, How To Keep Being A Parent When Your Child Stops Being A Child is ardently recommended reading for any father or mother trying to cope with, guide, and support their teenage son or daughter.

How to Keep Being a Parent When Your Child Stops Being a Chi,
By judith hodgkins (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Keep Being a Parent, When your child stops being a child. A practical guide to parenting adolescents (Paperback)
A marvelous book. This reader has purchased and read many books on the subject of adolescents, including those from Focus on the Family. While many of these books give good advice, most stop short of the practical, 'how to' advice many adults need when relating to young people. These authors have succeeded where others failed in capturing and clarifying many of the mysteries of an extremely perplexing and frustrating time of life, that being adolescence. They offer many practical suggestions on better relating to and respecting teens. Readers will find this book both edifying and encouraging. All who deal with youth will benefit from this book.

Skims the Major Issues,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Keep Being a Parent, When your child stops being a child. A practical guide to parenting adolescents (Paperback)
I found "How to Keep Being a Parent When Your Child Stops Being a Child" to be minimally beneficial. It skims the major issues while teaching parents basic skills. I feel that if a parent is looking for help raising adolescents this book will not give them enough information and advice to be helpful.
