Customer Reviews

intersting and informative

I have raised three teens before this one, but this book has some interesting approaches to use, etc. that are very helpful. Teens now need different things than they used too due to the pressure of the world. Donna

Mike is AWESOME!

My son (now 27) is one of the teens that Mike Linderman "whispered" in his early years at Spring Creek in Montana (but not one of the kids in the book). Although I'm done raising kids, I just had to buy the book as soon as I discovered it (through an excerpt in a magazine.) I haven't finished the book yet, but I can say that Mike is as amazing in real life as what you read in the book. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has kids or knows someone who has kids. It's not really a "how to" book, nor is it a "tell-all" from a behavior-mod boarding school. It's just Mike, sharing his down-to-earth wisdom on living with and raising confident, honest, hard-working, healthy kids. The title might seem a little silly, but it does convey Mike's innate understanding of kids, both in general and as individuals.

The Teen Whisperer

Mike Linderman does an excellent job of identifying the issues that parents and teens face, and then he actually gives step by step solutions. Every friend of mine who has a teen is recieving this book for Christmas this year... I don't ever suggest 'How to' books to anyone, but this one is different; it is a must read if you are raising children.
