Ms. Doades shares her experience as a parent of three Jewish teens to help other parents learn from her triumphs and her mistakes. The book is certainly inspirational, encouraging parents to persist in their relationships with their teenage children even in difficult times. In today's society where family relationships are disjointed to say the least, Parenting Jewish Teens: A Guide for the Perplexed is like a breath of fresh air!

Teenagers! Can there another demographic group more challenging yet full of promise! JoAnne Doades book on Parenting Jewish Teens offers a realistic approach to raising teens based on years of insight and experience. Her book is a paractical guide filled with great understanding, sensitivity and humor. I particularly like her integration of Jewish primary sources into the discussion If you have Jewish teens, this book is a must!

This books would be helpful to all parents. We have all been in many of these same situations and the author's down-to-earth approach makes this book a joy to read.

I couldn't put this book down. As a Jewish mom of two pre-teens boys, I worry about how I'll handle the teen years. This book gave me some excellent ideas. It also provides the confidence of knowing others have been through these years and made it through.

The stories and examples are funny, heartwarming, and very real.
