This is a very good book for a parent going thru the teen age years for the first time.

I think the premises presented in "Surviving Your Adolescents" are pretty sound and will be helpful to many parents. This is a worthy addition to a parent's library. My only complaint, and this seems to be represented in some of the other reviews, is that additional depth would be helpful. That is, many of 'how' and 'why' questions may not be answered in this book. Again, the ideas presented in "Surviving Your Adolescents" are great, you may just want to supplement it with a more detailed text like "Systemic Parenting: An Exploration of the Parenting Big Picture." Systemic Parenting does not explore the transitions associated with adolescence in as much detail as Surviving Your Adolescents, but it DOES fill in the gaps making for a complete picture of this period of your child's development. These two are very complimentary of each other.

You would have to be a mannequin to pull off this Doctor's advise. Most people do not have a "whatever" attitute when it comes to their children! You would have to have a seriously flat personality, or perhaps be on large doses of tranquilizers to do what this Doctor suggests! For instance; Your son comes home from school and says, "Hey Mom! Me and Sam took drugs today!"
No matter what Dr. Phelan says, there is no way that a concerned Mother would come back with, "That's nice dear...And did you like it?" "How 'bout a little beer with your meatloaf Sweetie?" Really, this book is so ridiculous it's laughable!

When to intervene and when to let go
Dr. Phelan gives concise, clear ideas about how parents should interact with their adolescents. Parenting books often fall into the trap of a "one size fits all" approach... Read more
