About this title

Review:

"Yes, parents could just hand kids a couple of Judy Blume books, tell them to have at it, and then answer any questions. But the world has changed a lot since the 1970s, and as great as "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" was (and is), it doesn't tackle social media, sexting or eating disorders. . . . "Got Teens" goes over acne, sleep problems, dating relationships, abuse, how to teach your children to be responsible with social media and everything between."
--"The Washington Post"
"Clever, funny, and spot-on accurate, this book picks up where intuition ends with solid advice and great answers. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and poignant, this is a surefire way for parents to help guide teens (and themselves) through the turbulent years."
--"Deborah Arrindell, Vice President, Health PolicyAmerican Sexual Health Association"

"The Doctor Moms are funny, honest, and intelligent. "Got Teens?" is a must-read for any parent with a child in the throes of puberty. This book will become both your bible and your survival guide."
--"Debra Hauser, MPH, President, Advocates for Youth"

"Finally, a book with actual research by real experts that backs up moms like me when we tell our teens they are normal . . . and quells our fears when we worry that they aren't."
