40 Answers to Teens Questions


My first grandchild has hit puberty. He is sullen, unresponsive, and perpetually angry with rules and consequences. When I saw the preview of this resource, it looks like what we need to manage the turmoil and mood swings of this thirteen year old.  Forty Answers to Teens Questions, written by Dr. Gregory Lantz and his teenage son Gregg Jantz, Jr. The unique thing about this book is the notes to teenagers from Gregg Jr. and the experience of talking through his response to his dad’s advice. Some of the questions are on difficult issue like pornography, sex, girls and periods, changing the rules. As a psychologist Jantz understands the teen’s point of view. Each of the 40 questions has a parent’s note to encourage conversations between teens and parents and how to engage in different topics. Use these as opportunities to undertake this journey through puberty with your child and gift him with an easier rite of passage.  This resource was given to me by Rose Publishing for a fair and unbiased review.
