Dr. Leman's book is a down-to-earth handbook for parents navigating the difficult waters of adolescence.

I found his advice right on the mark for dealing with my 14-year-old as well as my 12-year-old, although they have very different personalities. I bought a copy for future reference after reading the library's copy and loaning it to several friends. Those library fines can really add up!
