I'm not sure how to rate this book, however I know I will not give 5 stars......I liked the examples, but many things were repetitive and I found he used the same strategy on most of his patients. I'm a mother of 9 years old daughter, and I wanted to read this book because I know that the real challenge of mother-daughter relationship start about this age, and honestly, this book helped me very little.
It might be very helpful to some other parents though, this is why I don't want to write a spoiled review:)

All the work is from the mothers end. What about the daughter who wants to be the one to try to change how things go? Un-realistic senerios.

Of all of the parenting books I've read, I feel that this one has definitely helped my relationship with my 13 year old. I have a feeling j may be reading this one again.
