Good, Basic Advice, For Building Your Parenting Skills On

I have raised or am raising 7 teenagers and this is a good read to remind a parent of what teens are going through and what to expect, but not specific enough to teach what to do to address specific situations. I think it’s a great beginners’ parenting book to read before more in depth parenting books.

Great advice

Very much what it says. Practical advice for dealing with teenage girls. I'm sure I'll reread this a few times.
