Customer Reviews

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!

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.

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.
