Amazon.com The first challenge of a parenting book is gaining the readers' trust. In Making Sense of Your Teenager， Lawrence Kutner does just that--his is the wise， humorous， benign voice of experience.

From Library Journal A noted psychologist， columnist， and author (Pregnancy and Your Baby's First Year， LJ 1/93)， Kutner once again gives parents sound advice?this time regarding the parent-teen relationship. In the fourth and final book in his "Parent & Child" series， he offers insight into teenage behaviors that on the surface are confused， contradictory， and awkward?actions that， in fact， reflect the adolescent's grappling with such issues as self-identity， bodily changes， romantic attractions， and peer pressure. With an emphasis on the importance of communication and understanding， Kutner's advice to parents is at once intelligent， practical， and witty. Pervading his comments on potential problems is his positive and reassuring attitude about the teen years. While acknowledging that "life with teenagers is an adventure，" Kutner reminds parents to "hang on and enjoy the ride"; fortunately， he provides a road map that will help them make the trip without a serious breakdown. Essential for libraries with strong childrearing collections.?Pamela W. Bellows， Northwestern Connecticut Community-Technical Coll.
