Who knew? 
I was happy with this book. Having not read the pre cursor book, this book provided an executive summary. Then it moves on to dealing with teens.
My Sig Other does not have children so she is still at the point spilk milk is a big deal and she has not grown with my now full bore teen aged son.
It has helped me realize how to better deal with him and let him start feeling real world consequences for his actions. No play acting for the real world.
Also in the book there is an example of where things do get dangerous in the house and the parents kick the teen out to preserve the family. This action was a consequence for not being able to behave the household's guidelines. The has led me to believe Love and Logic might have some tough love parts to it.
I'm hoping my teen makes it through high school and crossing my fingers. Hopefully this book will help me get through this period.

Love comes naturally, Logic not so much 
This book was recommended by my family counselor. A lot of the concepts are exactly what I would have used in my parenting if not for the bully ex-husband constantly telling me I was wrong. I'm now in a position to start parenting in a way that my son can relate to and with concepts he can grasp, instead of with old-fashioned standards that have been ingrained through generations. Some basic parenting skills will stand the test of time, but our world changes so much with each passing decade and this book is keeping up. A lot of parents raise their children with adult logic - - these guys know how to raise a child based on a teen's logic! The authors' have organized the content to target specific areas so you can read start to finish or skip around, as I have. The writing is easy to understand (not in pyscho-babble) and I feel like some parts seem to have been written specifically for me. Some of the negative reviews of the book criticize the author's religious intrusion, but I was not offended and I am very UNreligious. "You can't make ALL of the people happy All of the time!" Use the parts you're sure will help your family, and pass over the rest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Good idea for communication 
This book is another liberal approach to raising teenagers, but it does have some good ideas about communication, i.e., asking questions rather than giving orders. The writers espouse no punishment because the child doesn't get punishment in the "real world." The examples of handling situations with teens include, "What to do when the police call and have your son in jail." Most teens discussed are in serious trouble and have poor relationships with their parents. The kids are in charge in these households, not the parents. (The parents never read, DARE TO DISCIPLINE!) If you are desiring to improve relationships with adjusted children, this book is not for you, even though the writers have a few good ideas.

Extremely helpful
As the parents of 3 adolescents with some significant cultural struggles, this book was is so helpful in changing our parenting techniques from being the authorities to being more "consultants."
There's an incredible relief when the responsibility for making decisions belongs to the teen, and the consequences of the decisions also belongs to the teen. I recommend this book as training in parenting for those of us who think we know how to raise teens, but find our teens are struggling, and it's clear we DON'T know how to do it.

Parenting Teens With Love & Logic
As a concerned grandparent, I would highly recommend this book to any mother with a problem teen. I gave this book as a Christmas present to my daughter-in-law, which was recommended by her daughter's couselor.
This book is an easy read and gives great support to both parents and teens.
