Your 10-year-old talks back. Your 12-year-old skipped school. Your 15-year-old just pierced what? If you're exhausted, frustrated or just plain scared about parenting teens and "almost" teens, here's a road map. Louise Felton Tracy, a social worker and school counselor who survived the adolescence of her own six children, believes that both parents and kids will do better when the focus switches to helping teenagers balance their desires with life's responsibilities. To guide you in this transition, each chapter of Grounded for Life?! ends with an easy-to-read list of the steps you'll want to take to ensure that you and your teenager keep talking to each other. For parents who find themselves backsliding into old discipline patterns, Tracy provides gentle reassurance and stories about her own challenges (and successes, however small).

Good read for families.

This is my mom's book! I would suggest that there are a few places that my child's perspective disagrees with her parent perspective, but now that I have been a parent (and soon a grandparent) I understand what she wrote better. I appreciated these words of hers when I was parenting. She and Dad did a good job on the six of us. We are all healthy, successful adults in the later end of our careers (some retired even). Even our kids are turning out healthy members of young adult society!.

I dont agree with all the views of this book and quickly passed it on. It discusses some valuable advice for new parents of teenagers.

I saw myself....

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2007

I saw myself in this book, and it wasn't pretty. We try so hard as parents to do the right thing, to give sound advice, to hear our kids out and even go to their defense. The thing I learned most from this book is that I actually hindered my childrens' growth in becoming responsible teens and maybe missed out on some real opportunities for communication. This book should be required reading for parents of children entering the "tween" years and middle school!
