From the Back Cover

Are you the parent of a teenager? Then you’re embarking on an exciting journey. There will be risks, danger, unexpected twists and turns, and an occasional spill. But if you’re prepared, you and your kids can emerge from the experience with a strong, loving relationship that will last a lifetime.

In his trademark "no-holds-barred " style, Dr. Kevin Leman, parenting expert and father of five, offers practical guidance and insight on important topics, such as:

• What’s “normal” adolescent behavior?
• Is peer pressure all bad?
• How can you see trouble ahead?
• What about dating and sex?

It's going to be a rocky ride, but the rewards downriver are worth the trip! --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wit, Widom & Reality, November 17, 2002

By	Marty Anderson "Marty Anderson" (West Dundee, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews

Kevin Leman provides a great resource for parents of teens. Its chapter summaries, the twenty rules parents must know and the Teenager's Ten Commandments to Parents are useful quick-read reminders for reference even after reading the book. Dr. Leman presents the material with humor and insight using real experiences from his life and professional practice. Parents will feel strengthened by reading this book.
