thanks soooo much

OK, I bought the book when they were perhaps too young, and never really got around to reading, since life was so miserable with 3 teenagers in the house!!
Than my wife moved out after 18 years because she was drained and couldn't take it anymore, so i was left with 3 kids who are going through the "terrible teens"
So I got the audiobook and 2 days later all the shit makes sense and im not going to shoot myself!!
REALLY worth it!! I kindof knew some of it, or it was told to me "it will be ok" and "kids are just like that" but that was not enough!!
"its a phase" crap!!
But this did explain it and put it all in perspective.
If only my wife would be open to learning.......

Must Read (Listen)

Every parent should read this. Teachers should read this. Grandparents and aunts/ uncles should read this. If there is a teen in your life, you should read this. Even if you are not struggling in the parenting department, but especially if you are, you should read this.

Somewhat dated but well worth your time

It's outdated in some aspects, but has helped a lot with my son because I understand some things that I could never have understood as a Mom.

Really great book about raising teenagers!

A must listen to. I am sure you feel more relaxed about the whole process as I do.

I loved it!!

I like how blunt it is because teenagers are very blunt!! This book has made me very happy, my kids not so much!!

Insightful with Humorous Relatable Examples

Great read for any parent with preteens or teens. Insightful and relatable examples told with humor.

Must read for all parents with teens

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Great insight in to the teenage thought process. Funny look at how parents can make living with a teenager manageable.

Where have you been all my life?!

I wish I had discovered this book 3 years ago! It was a phenomenal help!

Invaluable Insights and Practical Advice for Parents of Teens

As a parent of a 15-year-old teenager, I found this book to be an incredible resource for understanding and navigating the unique challenges that come with raising adolescents. The author provides relatable examples and scenarios that resonated with my current experiences, offering comfort in knowing that I'm not alone in this journey.

The book's strength lies in its practical strategies for addressing various situations and attitudes that may arise while parenting teens. These actionable tips have given me a fresh perspective on how to approach and manage issues as they come up in our day-to-day lives.

I highly recommend this book to other parents who are also raising teenagers. The insights shared within its pages have already made a noticeable difference in how I communicate and connect with my child. Whether you're seeking guidance on specific challenges or simply looking to better understand your teen's world, this book is an essential addition to your parenting toolkit.

This man knows teens!

As a parent educator and author myself, I have been studying the psychology of adolesents for many years. Dr. Wolf has today's modern teen pegged with accuracy. Anyone raising tweens or teens must read this book before they do anything else. What you will learn from this psychologist will change your relationship with your child forever, and for the best!
