Enjoyable, easy reading and very insightful!!!

This book was recommended to me by our School Counsellor and after reading it, I can understand why. I found this book to cover the situations that my teens and I have been going through. I have applied Carolyn's knowledge on several different occasions and have found a greater peace has taken place within my home! Carolyn has shown me the way to brighter days with my teens. I know that there will still be some bumps in the road, but having this book at my side gives me great comfort. If you have children, you need this book, I highly recommend it.

Excellent, enjoyable, and easy to read!

This fantastic book provides a fresh and realistic approach to parenting teens in today's world. The practical (and often humorous) ideas and advice empower parents with awareness, information, and skills to respectfully teach/guide their children to make responsible decisions for themselves. ARE YOU LOSING CONTROL? is a must read survival guide for parents as their children make the journey through pre-adolescents/adolescence to adult independence.

Practical and powerful!

This book offers the freshest, most sensible approach to parenting teens that I've ever read. In fact, I'd recommend it to anyone who deals with teens, not just parents. It looks at every topic in a radically new way, from "rewards and punishment" to "dealing with confict" to "peer pressure", "sex" and, perhaps the greatest fear for most of us, "alcohol and drugs." Best of all, it looks at teens in a whole new light: as persons-in-development who deserve our respect and support,and shows us how to provide it. An excellent book that will really make a difference in the way you relate to your teen!
