I have given this to SO many people...

This book helped me maintain my sanity when my daughter was really scarily off the rails for a time. It offers practical ( and, I can assure you, successful) strategies for dealing with common situations. It enables you to step back a little and realise you are not alone and - hugely important - it is upbeat, reassuring and enables you to LAUGH and put it all in proportion.
I haven't seen this new edition but I hope that it has been brought up- to-date and includes something on self-harming, which is now such a worryingly common phenomenon and which wasn't mentioned in the previous edition.
Finally - this is not just a book for those with 'problem' teenagers but offers many more general insights and helpful ideas relevant to the parenting of all teenagers.
