Title: Get Out of My Life but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall?: A Parent's Guide to the New Teenager
Product review: I would give the title 5 stars and I agree with the majority of reviewers that it is comforting reading another parenting book that explains seemingly outrageous behavior. The major disappointment was the advice for how to deal with problems that may range from upsetting to dangerous. Dr.Wolf's "solutions" can be summed up with a quote from the chapter "Conflict" in which a parent tells his child "You are going to have to learn that what you do and say has consequences." Dr. Wolf advises "The parent may say this and may indeed punish a child for disrespect. What punishment accomplishes, as anybody who has been through this will attest, is nothing. Nothing positive, that is. The same thing will happen again anyway." If that fits your parenting philosophy, you will probably enjoy the book. I hope this is not what the majority of parents believe, much less "anybody who has been through this".
