About this listen

Teenagers are tough and anyone who has their own needs help. Here it is: a witty, enjoyable and genuinely helpful guide that breaks the mould.

Get Out Of My Life offers practical alternatives to anger, nagging and frustration, and specific recommendations for developing better relationships with even the most difficult teenagers. This is the best survival manual for parents who find themselves marooned among volatile and incomprehensible aliens on Planet Teen. It looks at all the difficult issues of bringing up teenagers - school, sex, drugs and even suicide.

This is a very clever and witty explanation of why teenagers act like they do ... and understanding that is a powerful aid to dealing with their issues and the difficulties inherent in relating to your nearest and dearest teens. It is full of moments where the authors put into words issues that the listener can relate to and give a logical explanation and insight. Much of it is common sense that gets lost in the fog of teenage angst, but they brilliantly put it into context and deflate the pressure. This should be compulsory listening for anyone with a teenager or a pre-teen.

A must for all parents of teenagers

I found the book helpful, enjoyable, illuminating and hopeful.
I have passed it on to friends, colleagues and clients as many people struggle to understand what is happening in adolescence and worry about their role as parents.

Great book for everyone

I didn't think I'd enjoy this book. It was recommended by a friend when I told her about one of my daughters tantrums. The book is entertaining and informative. I have changed tack and I've noticed my daughters confusion when things haven't gone as she thought a confrontation would. Worth a listen, you've nothing to lose.

Some chapters written about my child

I enjoyed listening to this and it does give some perspective to parents of teens. But it is still very difficult to live a life with someone who constantly tries to be mean and do best to p*ss off parents. I do hope it will pass and that there is a relationship left by that time….

Good book but but but
