Because I Said So!! / What's the Big Idea?

Because I Said So!! Parents' Guide to Parenting Teenagers / What's the Big Idea? Teenager's Guide to the Teenage Years By Neal Hemmelstein Two-in-One Book! Parents read front to back, and kids read back to front. Same content, different presentation, and everyone ends up with better tools for communicating their needs!  Teenagers appear to be another species.

This is not a "How-to" book as much as a guide to developing your family's own "how-to's." Each family has its own set of values, though we often share values that others hold. I have no interest in telling you what those values should be.
