Great Book for Teens

As I have two older teens, this book helped me a lot with them, and it helped them a lot with themselves and each other. Our family is working hard at being aware of each others feelings, and as a father, I'm committed to raising the best teens possible into adults that are a positive example. The information given in this book is extremely helpful, and it also goes along with another book that has made a tremendous difference in the life of my teens called Stop Being the String Along. Each book brought my family and my teens information that has significantly altered their views, and behaviors into positive ones. If you have teens, or work with teens, I feel that both books would be excellent required reading. They have made a world of difference.

Excellent Insights into the Teenage Heart

Soon after reading Chapman's best-selling "The Five Love Languages," I knew I had to get this book for teenagers. If the original book could give me so much valuable insight into loving my wife, this title could certainly help me with my teen. I was not disappointed. Chapman here not only covers the five love languages as they relate to teenagers, but also offers help for the challenges that many teens and their parents face. Dealing with anger, failure, and blended families are among the issues that the author addresses. This book is excellent reading material for any parent of a teen, or a church worker who interacts with teens. Buy it and see -- I'm confident you won't be sorry.

An awesome book

I will give you a short background so you will know where I am coming from. My husband and I have been married eleven years and have tried to conceive a child for about nine of those years with no success. Well, since July 2003 we have adopted four children. They all are teenagers. I bought this book with the hopes of understanding each of my teenagers love languages. It is hard to figure out their love languages especially since we did not have to opportunity to have them when they were younger. This book was very helpful.I really enjoyed this book. The way this book was written made it easy to understand and I have already tried some of the suggestions from the book and they have worked. Thanks so much.

Youth Ministers Review

I have been in the youth ministry for 8 years now and this is one of the best books that I have ever read for those who have teenagers. I have bought over 25 copies of this book and have given them to every parent who's child graduates up to youth. Many parents have found what Chapman says as invaluable information. We now even do a special discipleship class based around the material in this book. I highly recommend it to any parent who has a teenager...it will change the way you view your student and the way you treat them. If you want to build a better relationship with your student...I would read this book, and then put it to practice.

Chapman Is On Target Again

Where was this book when we were raising two teenagers? The fact that we did so well is a testimony to dumb luck and two very understanding and flexible youngsters. This is an invaluable book for any parent about to begin the teenage years with their children. Using the same basic framework (five love languages - acts of service, gifts, quality time, physical touch, and words of affirmation), Chapman directs his comments to the needs of parents. His approach to establishing family "rules" is exceptional. Read in conjunction with another of his books - Five Signs of a Functional Family, you cannot go wrong. After reading this later book, I ran right out and purchased a copy for my son and his wife. When their daughter becomes a teenager, I will present them with a copy of this book. No caring parent can go wrong with this book. Buy a copy now!
