3.0 out of 5 stars
for parenting of your teen, November 3, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seven Best Things Smart Teens Do (Paperback)
This is definitely a book for parents although the title would imply it is for teens. There were several important points I found relevant to our family. Overall the ready was a little dry. I would recommend this book however, because the points we took to heart have deep implications for our teenager. Thanks

Deceptively Simple, July 7, 2008
This review is from: The Seven Best Things Smart Teens Do (Paperback)
This book is deceptively simple but is actually very profound. It is written by two practicing therapists and sometimes it strays a bit into "therapy" but it offers teens and their parents a non-threatening way to look at the teen years.
Both teens and their parents will get something valuable from this book, but teens will do well to read it. It is hardly a recipe book but offers some very good common sense advice, advice that has been born out by scientific research.
What I liked the best is that it does not insult teen intelligence. It provides references for those inclined to do their own research, but it is not necessary to do so to get something out of this book.
Most importantly, it provides teens with the knowledge that they are not alone or not as unique as they might think. Most of teen troubles are known and have been studied to some degree. This book should be bring some relief to teens not sure about who they are or where they are going.
It is slow in starting but picks up if you stick with it.
