Get Up, Get Out Audiobook

" This was an easy 24 hour read. Very informative for parents of adolescents and teens; I actually DO understand my children better after this quick read. I suggest everyone with children read this book; it would have been especially helpful before my daughter reached adolescents but I now feel better equipped to handle the next two rounds with my boys. "

" This is a must read for any parent of a teenager. It is laugh out loud funny and simply priceless. It's not a how-to book, but more a look at the species that is "teenager". This book tells you like it is and assures you that it's not forever. Thank God! "

" Great reference on "new parenting". I can do this. "

" So I didn't finish this book because I wasn't in the mood. I will have to say that this is one of the best, not not the BEST title ever! What I did read was well written and reasonable. "

" Haven't gotten very far-- but so far the book looks good and right on target for understanding today's teens. "

" Provides a great foundation for understanding and normalizing teenage behavior. It was a little scattered, but I would definitely recommend it to parents of teenagers. "

" maybe i won't go crazy this decade "

" I'm going with 3 stars because it had some really good information in the beginning. My kids aren't to the rebelliousness addressed in most of the book. But it is nice to know there is a resource out there if the time comes. "

" a worthwhile read ... "

" Not great, not terrible. Over-generalized way too much (as well as stating really low expectations for kids' behaviour), but there were a few good points. The discussion it led to in book group, however, was stellar. "

" An excellent explanation as to why teenagers act the way they do. I found the girls' explanation close to my experience, so I trust the author's word on the boys'. But I could have done without all the curse words. Yeah, many teenagers talk like that, but how much do I need to read it? "

" I read part of this book and it was very realistic in that it hit the attitude of teens very well. Insightful and a must read for all parents of teens. Suggested to me by a psychologist who works closely with teens and parents of teens. "

" This book was ok... I don't think it had anything revolutionary or jaw dropping. It was recently updated for this century. ;) I still find some of the information a bit outdated but it does have some valuable information. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it though. "

" One of the few "How To Raise a Teenager" books that has really reached me. On par with the "What to Expect..." series, but with a wry, accurate and earthy sense of humor that is essential to surviving your darling child's adolescence without incurring a felony record. "

" Very interesting. Confirmed a lot of things for me and provided comfort in the fact that my son is not retarded or I'm not completely insane. It's nice to know we're not alone. LOL "

" Helpful insights into teens and why they behave as they do. "

" Just reread this three years later as it is more pertinent than ever to life with my fourteen year old. Full of reassuring and humorous wisdom. A must for any parent of a teenager. "

" I am trying to survive life with teenagers.... "

" Extremely helpful but also quite funny. Definitely worth reading if you have a teenager! "

" quick, easy read. Great book on dealing with adolescents ...their thought processes, actions & how to relate. Be sure to read BEFORE they hit the pre-teen years! "

" Perfect! When I finish this I'll know alllll about raising a pre-teen daughter and son! I think it should come with a subscription to the Wine of the Month club or something equally helpful. "

" I was mad that he had some language in here. Overall he had some very wise advice, some of which I can apply even during these pre-teen years with Angeleen and soon thereafter on Jadelyn! He's hilarious too! "

" great for parents "

" One of the best parenting books I've read. Clear, concise and makes sense. "
