Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Any resource that helps parents decipher the thoughts, feelings, and actions of teenagers is sure to have great appeal. Lippincott and Deutsch, an educator and a psychologist, offer straightforward advice on understanding teens and keeping them out of harm's way as much as possible. The first section of the book reviews psychological and physiological research on brain development in adolescents. The authors then identify seven important facts to keep in mind, among them: truth is a malleable concept for teens, they suffer from distorted self-images, and they are attracted to risks. Throughout, the authors focus on three clear and simple rules of engagement--stay safe, show respect, and keep in touch--with helpful vignettes to demonstrate how parents can apply the rules in a variety of situations aimed not at controlling teens but minimizing their exposure to risky situations. Parents of teens will recognize the us-and-them dialogues and will find encouragement and guidance. Vanessa Bush

Review
“7 Things Your Teenager Won’t Tell You provides valuable new insights based on contemporary research, while showing parents how to identify the seven features of adolescent thinking through language and behavior. This book provides not only the understanding that is essential to effective and supportive communication, but also helpful examples of how to put that understanding into practice.”
–DAVID ELKIND, Ph.D., author of The Hurried Child
“This book provides sound, concrete advice about how to communicate effectively with your teenager. It offers a wealth of examples to help guide parents who struggle to stay connected during this critical time in their children’s lives. I highly recommend it.”
–ALVIN F. POUSSAINT, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry,
Harvard Medical School and Judge Baker Children’s Center
“Every teen poses a unique set of challenges to their poor unsuspecting parents but, thankfully, there are some commonalities. This book shares them with a goldmine of information, identifying the seven hot buttons, capturing the spirit of the dialogue, and offering concrete suggestions on how to deal.”
–ROBIN RASKIN, author and former editor-in-chief
of Family PC Magazine
“Page turners are rare on the parenting bookshelf, but Lippincott and Deutsch have given us just that. Their insights, humor, and excellent judgment make this a must for parents looking for the roadmap through the adolescent minefield. It is worth every minute you spend with them.”
–Kyle Pruett, M.D., professor child psychiatry,
Yale School of Medicine and author of Fatherneed
