5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! June 5, 2007
By Adam Press
Format:Paperback
Totally different from any other parenting book I have read. Finally, a glimpse into a teens life from a teen perspective. It was well received when I gave two copies (one for my friend the parent and one for her teenager) as gifts. Anyone who is around teens should read this book to understand them better.

5.0 out of 5 stars From a working Mom June 10, 2007
By Anita F.
Format:Paperback
When you are working so many hours outside of the home, you can feel out of touch with your teen. This book provided some great ways to dialogue with my daughter. Vanessa Van Petten's personal experience and practical tips were really helpful. She was able to synthesize her extensive research into succinct and helpful stories for us to share and discuss. I laughed out loud at some of her interviews while with others I could have sworn she was talking about the situation with my own daughter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praises for Vanessa! :) December 7, 2009
By Barbara M. Feola
Format:Paperback
Vanessa Van Petten not only wrote this book, but also runs a parenting site [...]. Her life goal is to help teens as they go through one of their toughest times in life, with all the changes and pressures. Being a teen is an important time in growing up, since you are making your way to the adult world. The tips she gives on parenting are great help to the teen and the parent, and they are on just about any topic you can think of. The site is actually ran by teens themselves, so you can read a bunch of different columns from teens perspective!
I haven't read this book yet, but I'm sure that it is just as great as her site. I am very impressed with all of the hard work she does.
