Rating: 5
Summary: Good Raising
Comment: I think this book is a good book, and I'm not just saying this because one of the authors is my mom. My 18 year-old brother and I were brought up using the philosophy that when we grow up we can be anything we want to. And to this O'Brian fellow who says that this book was written with a "soccer mom" point of view I would just like to state that he is very, very wrong. For one thing, I don't even play soccer and that would also be very hard, living in the City. My mom has been through a lot, and has experienced a lot of what she writes about in her books. So if your saying that this is very feminine writing, then you can go talk to my brother about that. So there.

Summary: Wish I'd have read this book earlier!
Comment: As the father of three mid- to late teens, I believe this book will be a great aid to young parents who have, or will soon be raising, the "middlers" (ages 10-15) that this book focuses on. My only regret is that I did not have the opportunity to read it when my children were beginning to move through this age group.
Had I read it earlier, I'm sure that it would have greatly improved my parenting skill because this book is practically a "how-to" manual for parents raising the 10-15 year-old child. Many, many topics are addressed by (what I feel, anyway) are two very readable and knowledgeable authors! Success in school, friendship & peer pressure, helping with the selection of appropriate media, drug and alcohol use, sexual awakening, and appearance anxiety are just some of the topics that are addressed in the book.
The book is a very fast "read" and is written in a light-hearted, yet informative manner. Humor and "street-talk" are used appropriately and effectively. The authors have certainly done their research and share a great deal of relevant and "eye-popping" survey material. Much of the material comes from the National Middle School Association, which also gives the book it "seal of approval".
I wholeheartedly recommend it to all parents who have children approaching those difficult high school years. You'll learn a lot of effective communication and parenting tricks which will make you a more effective parent, while at the same time making it easier for you and your "middler" to peacefully (and happily) progress through these trying 6 years! 5 stars!
