If you are a mother and many of your conversations with your
teenage daughter begin with a rolling of eyes, move into shrieked insults, and end with a door slam, I'm Not Mad, I Just Hate You! could save you both. As Roni Cohen-Sandler and Michelle Silver illustrate, even if

The Inside Story on Teen Girls: Experts Answer Parents' Questions (Apa Lifetools)
by Karen Zager, Alice Rubenstein
Paperback: 454 pages - American Psychological Association (APA), (May 15, 2002)
Psychologists Zager and Rubenstein forged a literary partnership after participating in
an APA task force on adolescent girls. They surveyed 1,100 parents, educators and teens, asking their concerns about adolescent girls. The result is a book that speaks to both teens and parents. Designed so that one
cover opens to a section for parents and, flipped over, the other cover opens to a section for teens, the book treats the most common questions surrounding parenting and adolescent development. Each of the major
sections begins with a letter written by a member of the target group (a parent or a teen), and each chapter ends with hot tips. This approach makes for a comprehensive guide to building healthy parent-teen
relations and handling the tough times that accompany adolescent years.

Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall?: A Parent's Guide to the New
Teenager: Revised and Updated by Anthony E. Wolf
Paperback: 212 pages, Farrar Straus & Giroux, (August 2002)
This is a survival guide for parents who find themselves marooned among volatile and
incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen. Area maps cover the obvious ground--there are chapters on school, sex, suicide, and so on--but it's the title of Chapter 2, "What They Do and Why," that best
captures the book's spirit and technique. Anthony Wolf's modus operandi is not so much to make pronouncements about what parents should do, as to explain adolescent behavior in a way that's bound to leave parents
with a changed view of the plausible options.
