recommends it for: parents, teachers, counselors, etc
I read this book in a couple of hours. The cartoons provide quick reference examples. Communicating with others in a different way yields different interactions. It takes some practice and getting used to, but it works! A great book for all parents to read, and those who work with children and teens.

I was a little skeptical of this book at first, thinking I didn't need any of the trite advice it had to give. I had to eat a little crow when I found myself using the techniques talked about in the book, and really liking them!
This book is great to remind us to what we know we should be doing.

I think that I have read all of their books, and I think that they are right on! Their advice is clear and easy to follow, and they give specific examples of applying their principles. Parents and those who work with adolescents will find this useful!

Have had this checked out way too long. The version of this book for dealing with kids is brilliant, so I imagine this one is the same. In fact, I apply what I learned from the Kids' version to teens all the time. And adults.

A few very good, very practical ideas about commination effectively with teens, padded/repeated in different ways, to make it into a book (with cartoons).

My daughter thanked me for reading this book and then read it herself! I find it an invaluable resource if you are involved at all in a child's life!

I love the premise, and am thus far encouraged by the results. Check back in a month.
