Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall: A Parent's Guide to the New...

A brand new edition of the bestselling guide to raising teenagersWhen Anthony E. Wolf's witty and compassionate guide to raising adolescents was first published, its amusing title and fresh approach won it widespread admiration. Beleaguered parents breathed sighs of relief and gratitude. Now Dr. Wolf has revised and updated his bestseller to tackle the changes of the past decade. He 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 gives them a great road map.

We were having issues with our son at about 16. We were amazed of the comparisons from the book to our son. You could literally take our the names of the teenagers and replace them with our son. After only 50 pages, we learned and were able to make small changes, which impacted our son...

Highly recomended

This book answered lots of my questions, I sugest that if you have children ages 12 or 13 years old you could start reading it so when they get to the age of fourteen you will be ready for parenting teenagers and their isues.

A must have book for parents of teenagers

A wonderful book, I've told my friends to buy this book even before they get to the teenage years, it is a complete handbook for parents of adolescents. Wolf lives and works in USA but he might have been writing about my teenagers in Dublin, Ireland. It seems they are the same, the world over. I...
