Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall

Navigating the Rocky Terrain of Parenting Teenagers in the Modern World
In this revised edition of the bestselling guide to raising teenagers, Dr. Anthony E. Wolf tackles the changes in recent years with the same wit and compassion as the original. While the basic issues of adolescence and parent-child relationships remain largely unchanged, today's teens navigate a faster, less clearly anchored world.
Wolf's updates include a new chapter on the Internet, a significantly modified section on drugs and drinking, and an added piece on gay teenagers. He points out that although the ever-changing landscape of contemporary adolescence may bewilder parents, Get Out of My Life, But First Could You Drive Me & Cheryl to the Mall? provides them with a comprehensive roadmap to navigate this challenging terrain.
Beleaguered parents will breathe sighs of relief and gratitude over this essential resource that offers guidance on communicating with teens, understanding teenage psychology and behavior, and effectively implementing discipline. Dr. Wolf's expertise in child and adolescent development shines through as he helps parents understand the teenage brain and provides practical strategies for successful parenting during the adolescent years.
