I really enjoyed this book because I am on the other side, having successfully raised my two children well into their 20s. Believe me it is a challenge seeing your kids through the teenage years even if, as mine were, they are relatively good. Looking back, where hindsight is always 20-20, I can see some times where I completely botched it and others where I was spot on in handling a situation.I agree with every one of the suggestions in the book.  All of them are equally important. It never works to be too strict with teenagers. You can no longer physically control them, nor should you try. But if you let them know that you have their best interest at heart, they will respond.As I said, I agree with everything in this book. If all parents read it and follow Mr. Olsen's advice, a whole generation of young adults will be happier, more well rounded and better able to handle adulthood, making our world a better place when they take over and we depend on them to run it.
