About this ebook

Beleaguered parents will breath sighs of relief and gratitude over this bestselling guide to raising teenagers. In this revised edition, Dr. Anthony E. Wolf tackles the changes in recent years with the same wit and compassion as the original edition.

Dr. Wolf points out that while the basic issues of adolescence and the relationships between parents and their children remain much the same, today's teenagers navigate a faster, less clearly anchored world. Wolf's revisions include a new chapter on the Internet, a significantly modified section on drugs and drinking, and an added piece on gay teenagers.

Although the rocky and ever-changing terrain of contemporary adolescence may bewilder parents, Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall? gives them a great road map.

Ratings and reviews

This book was an eye opener. It explained different ways to handle my teenage son as well as support him during his life changes in puberty. It assisted with topics needed to be discussed with teenagers, and brought up more relivant information such as homosexual relationships, and update with drug and alcohol abuse. So far, this is the best book ive read. I highly reccommend it to preteen parents as well as for teenage parents.
