About the book:<\/strong><\/font>
\n<\/font><\/span>\"fpo-l1.jpg\"<\/a>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?<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

My Review: <\/strong><\/font>
\nI will be totally honest and admit that I have not finished reading the book yet. I have read enough to wish that it had been available over a decade ago when I was raising teens. Everything I have read so far has resonated with me as truth and gave me a few “ahah<\/em>” moments as I recognized my children and even myself as a teen.<\/p>\n

For Parents Only <\/em><\/strong>has a fresh, easily read approach that helps the reader to see inside teens’ minds to understand why they are behaving the way they are and the correct parental response. I will be passing my copy on to a friend who has a teen and preteen.<\/p>\n
