I was looking for a book to help me talk to my teen stepdaughter about boys and dating, really hoping to help her make better choices that I did at her age, and this book has so much great advice.
It is cute and funny, and delivered in a way that relates to your teen in a way most parents can't hope to ... we're SO old and out of it, you know!

Sorry, not my cup of tea.

My oldest is 22 and the youngest 18. We survived the teen years with a lot of prayer and advice from friends and family that saw their children into adulthood.

- I was first married when I was 21. Things didn't work out so well. Decided to stay single for 5 years and not rush into anything! Just remarried a few years ago, this time to my high school sweetheart (we had not stayed in touch) and things are absolutely wonderful. But it wouldn't have worked when we were younger; life experience does change a person.

- I've been married for 21 years to my jr. high sweetheart. He wasn't my high school sweetheart, however-- we broke up and I went out with someone else for seven years. The boy who is now my husband remained my best friend that whole time. :-)
When they start dating, I want my kids to know (just like I did) that they can feel good about themselves, and talk to their parents about anything. Thanks for a site on an important topic!

- Teens are difficult and many parents (usually all) need a little help and guidance.
