Book Reviews of For Parents Only: Getting Inside the Head of Your Kid
Book Review: Strong, solid messages for deciphering what your teen is thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Regan Windsor for Reader Views (6/08)
"Happy the generation where the great listen to the small, for it follows that in such a generation the small will listen to the great."
- An Ancient Hebrew Proverb
Authors Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice take a unique approach in "For Parents Only" by going straight to the subject matter experts on the minds of teens - teens! Combining results from their nationwide survey with their own real-life experiences they manage to bring the data to life in a way that can be almost revolutionary for some parents - not because of any earth-shattering finds; it is the subtle ah-ha moments that strike the reader.
"For Parents Only" provides some strong, solid messages for deciphering what your teen is thinking versus what logic might dictate your teen might be thinking. Above all, however, the underlying message is to listen to your kids, try to understand what lies below their message, and understand they appreciate your boundaries no matter how often they test them.
I like to think of "For Parents Only" as a field guide to the teenage years...one I will continue to reference again and again; sometimes for advice but mostly to remind myself to listen, to pay attention, and above all to ensure they feel the love and support they need to get through these confusing and often heartbreaking years.
Summary of For Parents Only: Getting Inside the Head of Your Kid
For every bewildered parent, there’s a kid longing to be understood.What parent hasn’t occasionally looked at their beloved but bewildering offspring and wondered, What in the world is he thinking? or Why is my sweet little girl acting like that?
In this remarkable book, Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice take you inside the mind of teens and preteens through the same innovative approach that seized national attention in the best-selling books For Women Only, For Men Only, and For Young Women Only. They explore the results of a nationwide survey and personal interviews with more than 1,000 real-life teens and tweens to tackle those things parents often don’t “get” about their kids. You’ll hear first-hand about the longings that drive your kids’ seemingly illogical decisions, the truth behind those exasperating “attitude problems,” and what your children would tell you if they could trust you to truly listen.
