"Got Teens" is such a find for the modern parent. Not only are the authors extremely knowledgable about the modern day situations our children face, they have great approaches to communicating with your children about them. There is a feeling when you read this that both Wider and Levkoff remember distinctly what is was like to be a pre teen- teenager. While they take their jobs as educators very seriously they really calm your fears that your child is not the only one facing a particular obstacle. The big plus is that they do all this with a wonderful sense of humor. I could not recommend this book enough.

Excellent resource for parents of Tweens and teenagers. Highly recommend.

Decent advice, but common sense. The problem is, common sense isn't. Sigh. My parents never went over any if this stuff with me, and I turned out ok. Not that that was necessarily the best way to go about it. The problem for me is starting/having the conversation, not on what advice to actually give. They address that a bit, on individual answers, but that could really use it's own chapter.

I really liked this book. Easy to read. Full of great information, insights and conversation starters. I don't buy books nor do I re-read books. This one I'll be purchasing and suggesting to all my fellow mom's of tweens/teens.

Great advice.....a little simple for those with more medical background, but overall a nonjudgmental open modern approach

With an 8 and 11 year old boy growing older each day, this book armed me with a good approach to many possible questions to come.

Lots of good info, not alarmist, body/sex positive with emphasis on consent. I'd probably like to reference it again as there is always stuff to talk about with the kids.
