I have a 17 year old boy and a 15 year old girl. This book has been a blessing.There are things you want to say and do in order for your children to have safe and enjoyable relationship. This book helps you with that. It guides you through this time in YOUR life as well as their life. The process of "PROPERLY" letting go. It gives you the guide to what you should say to your children. What you expect them to do. It helps you put together what is acceptable to you and your family. How they can protect themselves physically and mentally. I recommend this to all of my friends. I would like to thank they authors of this book. You have done a great job. Wesley

A plain-spoken, readily understandable guide

Written by mothers and Girls and Boys Town workshop presenters Laura J. Buddenberg and Kathleen M. McGee, There Are No Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter: Surviving the Pitfalls of Teen Relationships is a "must-read" guide for parents about the teen dating scene - including and especially the dramatic changes that have taken place within it since the rise of email, text messaging, instant messaging, blogging, and other forms of cyber communication. There Are No Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter is a thoroughly comprehensive guide covering everything from how to set limits to ensure children's safety, how to keep the lines of communication open, how to gently and respectfully break up (in a non-abusive relationship - anyone in an abusive relationship owes the other person no explanations when getting out), how to deal with the pain of rejection, how to recognize and terminate physically or emotionally abusive relationships, talking about sex with teens, and much more. A plain-spoken, readily understandable guide, highly recommended for mothers, fathers, and legal guardians of teens everywhere - and also for teens themselves!
