May 24, 2003: Finally, a book that does not present a doomsday attitude towards teens! My oldest child is twelve and all I ever hear from friends with teens is 'just wait, your nightmare will begin soon'. I hate to feel this way, as though it is a given that these next 7 years will be awful. I know they will be challenging, mine certainly were. But there is hope in this book and practical solutions that any parent can incorporate into their daily lives. After reading this book I feel encouraged rather than discouraged. The authors present real life situations that make the reader feel like they are not alone in this 'world of adolesence'. Sometimes it is the day to day things you need help with and not advice on every horrible thing that might happen. This book covers it all in a way everyone can relate to. Thank you so much for a positive book on teens. I look forward to another one!

May 06, 2003: Being the parent of a teen today is anything but easy. There are raging hormones, risk-taking behaviors, and their fighting to be adult-independent before they're ready. Sometimes it seems nearly impossible to know when to hang in, hold on, or let go. But this collection of inspirational, often funny, essays by other parents of teens provides important and much-needed insight and support. It also reminds us to look at our teens as the struggling human beings they are, rather than the negative stereotypes they often seem to be. The message is loud and clear that 'teens are NOT a disease.' Cooke and Kendrick, both personal and professional teen experts, contribute their experience and wisdom to make this book a handy resource as well. The clever and knowing title says it all. This is a must-read.
