Helping kids cope with societal and peer pressures The blinders have been on long enough! This book allows readers to see
exactly what is going on in teenagers' thoughts, actions and lives, and offers
workable ways of dealing with behavioral issues. – Susie Emerson, R.N. With strong conviction, the authors present compelling reasons for
establishing a solid parental presence in the life of our children. As parents of
four, we found this book to provide direct and practical advice. Readers will
walk away feeling more competent, capable, and definitely well supported in
their role as parents. – Dominick Scotto, STM (Sacred Theology), MSW,
high school teacher; and Pandora Scotto, MSW, LCSW This concise treatise on the highly emotional, chaotic and downright
frightening teenage years defines and enumerates the responsibilities and
actions of both parents and teenagers; it is easily read and eminently
useful. – John Blackard, D.D.S. This book gives parents a no-holds-barred approach to keeping a step ahead
of their teen, and by that I mean keeping them safe, establishing boundaries,
and enforcing rules until they develop the proper skills necessary for
independence. – Uwe W. Geertz, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology
