Parenting today is so scary. Drugs, sexual abuse, internet weirdos. When it comes time for a parent to start letting go of their emerging adolescent, most do with a very large leap of faith and a lot of fear. PARENTING 911 is a must read for anyone who wants some concrete tips on protecting or rescuing their teen or emerging teen. What I like best about the authors is that they they are obviously parents themselves so they are very realistic (unlike some authorities who make you think they have never seen a teen before). Been there, done that. They know what works and what doesn't and what signs to look for. They allow you to feel back in charge of your child's raging hormones rather than at their mercy!

Parenting 911 is one of the best books I have read for dealing with 10-15 year olds. This book deals with issues that kids this age face on a daily basis. Parenting 911 helps parents to understand what is going on with our kids and gives parents tips on how to deal with these issues. The co-authors, Giannetti & Sagarese supply the reader with resources that can be very useful. This book is a must read for all homes with teens and pre-teens.

Kids cannot be raised according the rules set in a book. Each kid is a unique individual and would be negatively impacted by a inflexible parent. If you feel the need to read this book, you obviously have no trust of your child, or your parenting abilities. Taking advice from somebody else about your own child is never the way to go.
