Book Reviews of Surviving Your Adolescents: How to Manage-and Let Go of-Your 13-18 Year Olds
Book Review: Desperate parents of adolescents : you MUST read this book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a 50 year old Turkish middle class urban dad of two sons, one of them a 15 year old adolescent, I have found very relevant and clear advice in this book. I read many teen age parenting books during the past two years. Only a few including this one give clear and applicable advice about what to do and what not to do. Most other books are boring because they give a lot of statistical information about troubled teen age behavior such as the rate of crimes committed by and drug dependency etc. of troubled adolescents. After reading those books you gain a lot of knowledge about problematic teen age behavior but as a parent you are left wondering what to do to manage your teenager's problems. You have to somehow deduce what you must do. By contrast in this book the author talks very clearly about the four cardinal sins committed by most parents and that must be avoided if a parent wants to help his/ her teenager. In fact I think the four cardinal sins are valid for any human relationship not just for parent - teen relations. Urban middle class parents of all nations can find the advice in this book relevant because I believe adolescence problems and their solutions in general are more or less similar in the urban middle class in every country despite national, cultural and religious differences. So if you are not American and live outside the USA do not think that the problems and solutions for teen age parents in this book are limited to the American culture and society. I am a Turkish dad living in Istanbul Turkey and find the contents of the book 100 per cent relevant to our family's and to many of my friends' circumstances in Istanbul who are having or had similar problems with their teens.
