      I'm exceptionally disappointed in this book.It's mostly good/sound common sense advice, but it's pepper and salted with so much sexism, gross generalizations, and contradictions that it's hard to take any of it seriously.Dr. Leman has such firm views on what a wife does versus what a husband does, what a teenage girl does versus what a teenage boy does that it feels like he hasn't actually worked with *actual* teenagers in decades. He's a proponent of abstinence only and seems to parade teenage sex or *gasp* using "the marijuana" as the worst sins teens can commit. It reads like it was written in the 1930s.I literally burst out in a honking laugh when he started bringing up the thoroughly discredited/debunked birth order theory. And then, lo and behold, I found out he's a the shyster who CAME UP WITH THAT bunk pseudoscience. What a quack!

      Much of this book seems like common sense, especially the suggestions on handling typical teen discipline problems. The parts of the book that I found most valuable were the suggestions on developing a better relationship based on trust and respect. I also liked the examples he gave of how to respond to typical teen behavior in ways that protect the relationship. There are many teen issues that are addressed in the second half of this book.

      Some good points but mostly traditional parenting blah blah like taking away privileges, calmly holding grudges (accountability), shaming ("I'm disappointed in your behavior") etc.. The author comes off a bit egotistical. Standard American Christian values are represented.

      The writer states that homosexuality is disgusting. This seems to contradict all of his Christian views.
