Customer Reviews

practical, timely advice

There are some things my 13 year old daughter is uncomfortable with discussing.... this helps break the ice and gives she and I, lots of food for thought

How to understand teen highs, lows, and problems in life

This new edition of a classic tells teens how to understand their highs, lows, and problems in life, from parents to peers. The new and expanded 6th edition provides a how-to and why-to which provides a sympathetic overview of growing into an adult's body and world. Teenage Survival Manual includes sections for notes, which may not make this appropriate for library lending, but parents and teens alike will relish its wisdom.

To the point

As a parent I appreciated the Reality I and II labels given. The writer conveys his message in not only a teeage friendly manner, but effective for this adult reader. He doesn't become preachy but his stance is well put.I encourage anyone who struggles with "life" to sit down with this book. It has already helped my relationship with my 18 year old. As a teacher of preteens I am appreciative of the insight Coombs gives.

Realistic, down to earth.

The book opened a lot of windows and taught me how to gain self-confidence.

Good & in touch w/your feelings

This is a good book...it helps you find inner peace.
