Lovely, but felt like I wanted more by the end

This was easy to listen to, narrated by the two authors. The suggestions were framed by the test group that the narrators used to try out their ideas on communication with teens. This was effective as their ideas really take trial and application to be effective and the examples of how parents put their ideas into practice made things real. As helpful as this all was, I did feel that a lot more could have been covered--the book seemed short--but the authors seem to agree with this as they end the book with a picture of parents continuing to discuss their struggles in a group.

I really have learned a lot from this book!

I don't like that I purchase it on audio and I'm not able to go back review, or just to go and listen to the entire book again.

Usefull

Very good and usefully approach to the matter. I'm applying and works. Thank you. I recommend.

Solid, Timeless, and Actionable Advice

This book was a good reminder that the point of parenting isn't to be right, but to help my kids develop into self-correcting adults. The techniques offered aren't original but they are described well in the context of speaking to teens. The examples and anecdotes are a bit cheesy but they work. I especially liked the reminder to lead by acknowledging their feelings. And to "give in fantasy."

A needed book for all parents

Loved the specific real life examples and recommendations in dealing with them. Amazing read that every parent should read/listen to!

To acknowledge others feelings and listen.

All this scares the crap out of me :/ only God can save us 😭

Good info kind of cheesy presentation

I thought I hated the format of the book, with the "story" of the meetings and the people...I thought it was really cheesy. However, I must say I felt there was great info in the book, and I am going to listen to it a second time to really get all the concepts that I can then put into action. I do feel the info learned here is valid and will be helpful. In addition I read "if I have to tell you one more time" and it melds nice with this book. Same type of principles, but with more action plan specifics. I think the two together will really benefit my parenting.

still worth it if you read previous book on kids

it wasn't bad. used very similar techniques as in the previous talk to little kids books. the audio recording itself is fine but the authors have a thick accent which takes away from the audio book.

Needs updated writings

Admittedly this book was written in 2005, so some of the nuances of modern life are a bit off. I think overall for a parent just trying to connect a little more with their child this is a good way to start that journey.

Common sense practical

The authors address real situations, real problems, real teenagers. I loved their
approach, simple and to the point. I found it helpful that very evening when I had
to deal with a situation and refrained from the shouting match. Excellent book
