5.0 out of 5 stars 8 CD package, November 10, 2004

This review is from: Preparing for Adolescence (Audio CD)

This is the 8 CD Package Family CD Pack. I don't know why they added the word "abridged" to the title but it includes everything that was on the cassette tape set.

Here's the contents -

CD 1 - for parents, with guidelines on what to expect and what to say.

CDs 2-7 - for young people ages 9 to 14, covering important topics.

CD 8 - for parents to listen to first, with answers to the questions young people ask.

This is a *great* series created by a man who is a medical doctor, a family councelor, a father and a Biblically based Christian.

This series covers *everything* to help your child (and yourself) survive the approaching adolescent storms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defintely a good for your teen, December 10, 2001

By 

Elizabeth S. "elizh77" (High Point, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Preparing for Adolescence: How to Survive the Coming Years of Change (Paperback)

My mom bought me this book about 13 years ago. I was just about to push into my early teen years, and I really had no clue what to expect. I read this book, and I although I couldn't relate to everything in it at the time, it was presented in a clear, logical and Godly way. As the years went by, I began to relate more and more to Dr. Dobson's words, and I recalled his suggestions often. Now, I'm buying this for my much younger sister as she begins her trip into her teen years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your pre-teen MUST read this book, February 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Preparing for Adolescence (Mass Market Paperback)

This book provides indispensible advice and education for the parent and pre-teen. When I was entering adolescence, my parents gave me this book. I cannot describe what a relief it was to learn that I wasn't weird and that the feelings I was having and the stage I was entering were normal. A must-read for all Christian families on the brink of the teenage years.
