Book Review: What Teens Want You to Know (but won't tell you)

There are countless books out there for new parents, but what about parents of teenagers?

Roy Petitfils has compiled several anecdotes from his experience as a counselor for individuals, couples, families, as well as some from when he was teaching for 10 years at the high school level. I believe that the wide array of his credentials allows Petitfils to offer sound advice to adults who find themselves in leadership roles of teens.

Each chapter follows a basic layout: A Bible verse, a quotation from a teen and an adult, an anecdote, advice, a summary, questions, and a prayer. It is important to note that you do not have to be religious to find something you can use and some advice can be useful for any relationships you may have.

There are some points that I did not necessarily find applicable to my former teenage self and a couple that I did not necessarily agree with but that is to be expected and it is part of the reason that parenting can be difficult.
