Old time sense in rearing children and teens.
I wondered why the author's suggestions seemed so old-school. Then I read the About the Author section and saw he was of a former generation and is now deceased. Campbell gives good advice on how to make your child feel loved and accepted, and on what pitfalls to avoid that will rob from your child's "love bank." As I'll probably read this again, I'm giving it five stars.

Keep Reading0
For those who thought it was too preachy, you need to keep reading. The first few chapters don't have much practical advice (I kept asking myself, yes I know that, but HOW do I do that?). Tthe rest of the book has good information and the practical application I was looking for.

Outdated
Don't bother to buy the revised and updated edition. It's still from the 1980s. No mention of technology any later than televisions! There are a few gems in the book, but for the most part it is simplistic and does not deal with the majority of issues we need to understand when parenting teenagers today.

Good stuff for parents with teenagers!
Until my wife and I suddenly found ourselves living under the same roof with two suddenly complicated young teenagers, I didn't imagine that a book of this title would be of much interest. As it turns out, I found it a gripping read, full of very sound advice and very helpful in every way.I really appreciated the author's professionalism, clearly a very accomplished counselor, doctor and father of grown children who turned out well! Highly recommended for all parents as this is a really balanced and helpful book on beinga better parent. I'm already dipping into it a second time.

Excellent
This is a book every parent should read before their children become teenagers, and many time during the teen years. Full of real life examples and tips it will no doubt become a book they will refer to very often. It will help prevent frustration, missunderstandings, anger, and instead give the parent leading, guidance, faith and hope for their teens. Thus, parents will be better equipped to do what their responsibility is....to prepare teens for life.

Je recommande fortement à tous les parents.
Livre incroyable qui a vraiment eu un grand impact sur ma façon de gérer l'adolescence de ma grande fille. Nous avons beaucoup changé suite à mon aplication des principes du livre. Des changements qui m'ont redonné un grand espoir en ma capacité de mère à traverser cette adoledcence si complexe en restant unie avec elle et elle unie avec notre famille et nos valeurs. Un incontournable selon moi, un investissement temps et argent mille fois récompensé par les vrais résultats d'une vie.

Still working on this one... unfortunately there ...
Still working on this one... unfortunately there is no book anywhere that can fully help you through this stage in a teenagers life. There is nothing that can fully prepare you either. But this book helps you see thing from their perspective, and if anything takes you on a trip down memory lane and reminds you of your own teenage years.

Insightful! Every parent needs to read this book!
This book reveals the real secret behind raising a teenager which is unconditional love. How we express this love is important and this book provides the guidance we need to raise our children to be healthy, mature and responsible adults.
