Just what we needed!

Recently, I had the opportunity to read "Raising Emotionally Intelligent Teenagers", a new book about raising teenagers. I was very interested in reading the book, as I knew that someday my young children will be teens, and I like to be prepared! As I read the book, "Raising Emotionally Intelligent Teenagers", I can not begin to tell you how uplifted I began to feel. While my oldest is only ten years old, I immediately realized that this book could help me with raising her even before she officially becomes a teenager. I have already began to experience some strains on our relationship, but this book gave me new insight and approaches that I alone would not have thought of. My husband and I have discussed that we are worried about the future, when we will have hormone filled teens. Will be raise them right? Have we provide the best foundations for them now? What obstacles must we overcome once these little ones are transformed into young adults? We know how we were for our parents, so how are our children going to be for us? "Raising Emotionally Intelligent Teenagers" was the perfect book we needed.

Enjoyable reading for parents of tweens and teens!

Once again these three have come up with an easy to read, insightful book on the joys and pains of parenting. Their humorous but sincere dialog shares the good and the bad of the volatile teenage years without being too preachy about things. I enjoyed this book as much as their last one, Emotionally Intelligent Parenting. I would definitely recommend this as a "must read" to anyone trying to raise a teenager in today's world.
