Get Out of My Life

The Adolescent Demystified. Brew yourself a nice cup of tea and dive in.

This joyful book is peppered with “teenager vs parent” scenarios that are so familiar. Take this one for example:

“Meredith would you please take those dirty glasses in to the kitchen?”“Why? They’re not mine.” “I don’t care if they aren’t yours, you live in this house and I am asking you to take those glasses into the kitchen.” “But they’re not mine. I don’t have to do it.” “Meredith, you’re asking for it.” “You’re asking for it.”

Doesn't sound familiar to you? Count yourself lucky. Not all teens will act this way, but for the rest of us, this book offers a helpful perspective. The author, Dr. Anthony E. Wolf, Ph.D, breaks down what makes the teenagers of today tick and shares how we, as parents, can really enjoy this unstable time and see humor if we can step back far enough from our lives to view our daily travails for what they are, instead of as deadly serious issues. In other words, if we can keep our cool, don’t worry - our children will turn out just fine as caring, compassionate, respectable members of society and not complete derelicts.
