As the Author of many books and the mother of a future
teenager, I have read a few books about how to raise teenagers. I picked this
guide up and gave it a shot! I was totally surprised with how well I connected
with the Author. The late nights worrying over the safety of our children is
definitely something all mother’s have in common!
As far as the book goes, I really learned a lot. I know
everyone just wants their kids to be happy, but there has to be some rules for
safety. I learned a lot about setting boundaries for my child and sticking to
them.
This book also teaches you the importance of
communicating with your teenager. When children become teenagers, they sort of
shut their parents out. It is important for you to communicate with them and
remind them that you are there, you care, and that they can still come to you
with any problem that they may have.
I also really enjoyed the chapter about spending time
with your teenager. When children become teenagers, they don’t really want to
hang out with their parents as much as they used to. They would rather be off
with their friends somewhere. It is still very important to try to spend as
much time with your teenager as you can. You should at least try to eat dinner
with them at night.
Overall, I loved this book
and really enjoyed reading it! I highly recommend it to all mothers out there
with teenagers or soon to be teenagers! As an Author, It is well written and
easy to follow and understand!
