Reviews"Shaunti and Lisa have done an outstanding job talking about the issues, confusion, and dreams our kids face as they growand thus the issues we face as parents. Someone once said to me, 'God gives us the most important job in the world called parenting, and gives that job to inexperienced people.' That is so true. But as you understand the inner life of your child, you will be much better equipped to meet the challenges and joys of being a good parent. I encourage you to pick up this book and start the journey of understanding today." Jim Daly, president, Focus on the Family "Shaunti and Lisa have boldly gone where no one has gone before: straight into the brain of a teenager! The insights they have found give us a unique peek into the hopes, fears, desires, and challenges facing the next generation. Savvy parents will read and respond to what they learn in this book, and their family will be better as a result." Dennis Rainey, president, FamilyLife "I will be buying this book by the case. As a youth minister, I'm always trying to communicate to parents exactly what Shaunti and Lisa so eloquently and poignantly communicate inFor Parents Only. Every parent of teens should read this brilliant book!" Dannah Gresh, author ofAnd the Bride Wore White "Sandra and I love this book! With two teenage boys and a daughter who just started middle school, we soaked up Shaunti and Lisa's insights and discoveries like sponges. This is not just another book on parenting. It is a fascinating look at the way your child's mind works. We plan to use For Parents Only as a curriculum in our home group." Andy Stanley, pastor, North Point Community Church "Shaunti and Lisa dive into the deepest core of kids' hearts to bring parents amazingly insightful truths and advice. They hit the bull's-eye when it comes to advice on raising children in the twenty-first century!" Dr. Joe White, president of Kanakuk Kamps "At times I felt like I was sitting at a school lunch table, listening in on how kids really feel about their parents and what they would like to tell them. Shaunti and Lisa do an exceptional job of researching the topic and then making very practical suggestions. This gets my Five-Star rating on the HomeWord.com web site." Jim Burns, Ph.D., President, HomeWord, and author ofConfident Parenting "I am so grateful for the hours of compassionate listening, ton of credible research, and weight of brutal honesty represented within the pages of this book. As a mother of three teenagers, I am the first to admit that I need help! Thank you, Shaunti and Lisa, for coming alongside on this wild, woolly, and wonderful adventure."  Lisa Whelchel, best-selling author ofCreative Correction, The Busy Mom's Guide to Prayer,andTaking Care of the "Me" in Mommy "For Parents Onlybeautifully breaks down the communication code between parents and children.

Bob and Cheryl Reccord, speakers and co-authors of "Launching Your Kids for Life" "Do you remember how Maria responded when Captain Von Trapp proposed marriage? That's right, she said, 'Let's ask the children.' Instead of speculating and postulating and pontificating, Shaunti and Lisa have done a brilliant thing. They've asked the children. And the children-teenagers-have told them the truth.

Synopsis<for parents only" helps parents understand how their teen or pre-teen child is wired and how to give that child what he or she needs the most. the authors free parents to communicate in healthier ways as they discover that understanding their kids may not be as complicated as they think., For every bewildered parent, there's a kid longing to be understood. What parent hasn't occasionally looked at their beloved but bewildering offspring and wondered, "What in the world is he thinking? "or "Why is my sweet little girl acting like that?" In this remarkable book, Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice take you inside the mind of teens and preteens through the same innovative approach that seized national attention in the best-selling books "For Women Only, For Men Only, "and "For Young Women Only." They explore the results of a nationwide survey and personal interviews with more than 1,000 real-life teens and tweens to tackle those things parents often don't "get" about their kids. You'll hear first-hand about the longings that drive your kids' seemingly illogical decisions, the truth behind those exasperating "attitude problems," and what your children would tell you if they could trust you to truly listen., Shaunti Feldhahn and Lisa Rice take you inside the mind of teens and preteens through the same innovative approach that seized national attention in the best-selling books For Women Only, For Men Only, and For Young Women Only.
