From Library Journal
A rockabilly musician ("I'm on Fire") and sometimes visual artist, Twilley here advocates and delineates the innovative and fun "Dad's Test" method he used to increase the amount and quality of communication between himself and his daughter, Dion. The method uses intimate, serious, silly, and fun questions to solicit information or pass on ideas. While it cannot be used by everyone, this method may be helpful for absentee parents (and grandparents) who feel the lines of communication are limited, strained, or inadequate. Twilley provides some important do's and don'ts for developing the questions, a listing of support/interest groups, and photocopies of several completed "tests" to illustrate the possible range of topics. Parents who wish better communication with their offspring might want to try this unique book, though custody rules should be checked before using its nonstandard methodology. Recommended for parenting, communication, or general psychology collections in public libraries.
