Very Informative

This book really helped me understand my 15 year old. It helped me understand why I kept getting these blank stares from her. She really didn't get it. I would recommend it to anyone with teenagers.

Extremely reassuring!

I have three teenagers who have become very challenging, seemingly overnite, and this book made me realize that they are all normal and that I am not a terrible parent. I am actually rereading it for a second time in one year. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a teen.

Parenting the teenage brain, if you have teenagers you need this book. tghis book.

Parenting the teenage brain is an excellent book. It was very easy to read and very informative about how best to guide your teenager through their teen years. I gained valuable insight into why my son acts the way he does. It has been very helpful in dealing with the teenager in my house.

a must read for parents of teens

I came upon this book title by mistake, but I see it was not a mistake at all! I have two teenage girls, 15yrs, and 18yrs old. Both completely different in all ways, this book has truly helped me individualize my teens behaviour and gave me the tools to work with them and mostly to just understand them. It is written in a clear easy short chapter format which made it easy to pick up at any given time to find relevant infomation. I will be sending a copy to my sister who has four children not yet teenagers.
