Book Description

December 1, 1993

How you set boundaries with your teens is among the most important aspects of your parent-child relationship. Unfortunately, this ability does not come automatically with parenthood. Here Jane Bluestein, a former teacher and counselor, looks at 20 relationship-building techniques all parents can use to set limits with their teens. You'll learn the essential arts of loving, motivating, accepting, negotiating, respecting, acknowledging, communicating, supporting, empowering, trusting . . . and much more.

These practical strategies for boundary setting will enable you to avoid conflict, resolve problems and establish a foundation of mutual love and respect. As a result of learning to set healthy boundaries, you may actually begin to enjoy your children's teen years!

5.0 out of 5 stars On target, March 22, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Parents, Teens and Boundaries: How to Draw the Line (Paperback)
I have been doing family therapy for 15+ years. This is by far the best book I have ever seen for parents of teenagers. I almost always recommend it. And I sure wish I had had it to read when my kids were teens. The biggest problem is it's hard to find. Now that I see that Amazon has it, that's no longer a problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straightforward, clearly written guide to working with teens, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Parents, Teens and Boundaries: How to Draw the Line (Paperback)
Useful for parents or anyone working with teens, this book provides ideas, situation descriptions and creative solutions to problems with homework, peer pressure, curfews and communication. Sensible solutions are suggested, sources for further information are provided. Very readable. This is one of those "why didn't I know about this book earlier" texts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good ideas for raising kids of all ages, January 24, 1999
By 
This review is from: Parents, Teens and Boundaries: How to Draw the Line (Paperback)
An empowering book for parents. Written in an easy-to-read conversational text, this book has plenty of good ideas. It teaches how to raise children without using anger, judgment or manipulation. It even includes suggested exercises so that you can use what you learn in a very personal way. I'd recommend it!
