Summary: "How to" falls short
Comment: I found this book to be so basic and limited in its approach that it provided little or no helpful information. As an example, on "school" it gives advice such as "Don't tell your child he is wasting time in school and might as well get a job". I found the examples given for coversations were unrealistic. The one topic I most wanted to review - homework - wasn't even covered.

Summary: An excellent book I would read and look back on for advice
Comment: The author did a wonderful job of explaining how to communicate to your teen by discussing the 5 principles of communicaiton which inculdes a parent-teenager communication skills self-inventory. For each topic, it begins with a scenario, gives suggesstions on things to consider, 3 things you must do, What to say and do, Words and phrases to use, What not to say, and Words and phrases to avoid. There are 88 topics in this book. Some of the topics are: Chores, Communication, Curfews, Discipline, Drinking, Drugs, Honesty, Morals, Needs and Wants, Peer Pressure, Punctuality, Sex, Values, and Violence.

Summary: Leaving the genre behind
Comment: Dr. Heyman's book is packed with useful advice on how to deal with nearly every parent-teen issue, from sex to drugs. alcohol and body jewellery. I found almost all the chapters to be helpful. Most of all, though, I admired the author's deep humanity, and his insistence that as long as love endures, and parents communicate that love to their children, there is hope even when problems seem very grave. Dr. Heyman's recounting of the difficult teenage years of one of his own children is touching and beautifully written.This is a remarkable book that rises far above its genre.
