Story
We are all familiar with the hormones, the illogical rage, the awful time keeping and the daily dramarama. However, you don’t know that they will steal your stuff (and claim you never had it in the first place), bruise your self-esteem just as you hit your melancholy midlife and love/hate you all day long with exhausting regularity seconds after turning 13. This stage of motherhood is not for the fainthearted. These are the loneliest of maternal times filled with pockets of shame you cannot share with anyone. You’re going to need help getting through this.

Why is it that the behaviour of teenagers can be so odd? As they grow older, young children steadily improve their sense of how to behave, and then all of a sudden, they can become totally uncommunicative, wildly emotional and completely unpredictable. We used to think that erratic teenage behaviour was due to a sudden surge in hormones, but modern neuroscience shows us that this isn't true.

Between the ages of 12 and 24, the brain changes in important and often maddening ways. It’s no wonder that many parents approach their child’s adolescence with fear and trepidation. According to renowned neuropsychiatrist Daniel Siegel, however, if parents and teens can work together to form a deeper understanding of the brain science behind all the tumult, they will be able to turn conflict into connection and form a deeper understanding of one another. In Brainstorm, Siegel illuminates how brain development affects teenagers’ behaviour and relationships.

Excellent and actionable
There are a lot of good examples and realistic scenarios to learn from. It's not easy to get something this simple right in reality but in the weeks since I finished the book I have found my relationship with my kids much better. Most importantly I'm not always coming across as angry or against them. I am very grateful for this book, simple!

Narration made me cringe
There are some useful tidbits in this book but the narration made me cringe. Really cringe! Also there doesn't seem to be any evidence to back up the theory. The story describes a few weeks of parenting seminars and it isn't clear what real issues the parents' faced or whether they were resolved aside from 'improved communication'.

The authors are terrible at narration!
What would have made How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk better?
Use the book for facts and helpful advice rather than a play by play story of their visit to a high school to give a workshop. Hire professional narrator, the authors are terrible at narrating. To get the best info, just read their How to Talk so Teens will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk
What do you think your next listen will be?
I will try another book by this author as long as they are not the narrator!
How could the performance have been better?
Get a professional narrator and use facts rather than stories.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from How to Talk So Teens Will Listen and Listen So Teens Will Talk?
The book is written like a play in which the author reads all characters but in different annoying voices.
Any additional comments?
I could not take another minute of listening to the author narrate the book. I returned the audio for my money back.

Terrible Narration and Outdated Stories
I really wanted to like this book and find good insight for dealing with my older teens. After the first twenty minutes of listening, I wanted to turn it off because the narrators were doing a terrible job. Their voices for other roles, both parents and teens, was completely unbelievable and the example stories they gave were woefully outdated. Worse than that, the quick resolution of how to handle various scenarios was laughable. The authors' general advice is sound, but so out of date. Will continue searching for better, more contemporary books in this genre.
Sadly, I cannot recommend this book in any form.

Very helpful advice.
I really enjoyed the suggestions in this book. These suggestion helped to enlighten me in seeing the difficult situations that arise with teens from their point of view. I cringed listening to the scenarios that were played out and how these parents reacted, because I had similar reactions in handling my teen. I was comforted in that I wasn't the only one thinking along these same lines. These tools presented in speaking with teens and seeing things thru their eyes make me feel better equipped to handle situations going forward. Thank you Adele and Elaine.

Good info kind of cheesy presentation
I thought I hated the format of the book, with the "story" of the meetings and the people...I thought it was really cheesy. However, I must say I felt there was great info in the book, and I am going to listen to it a second time to really get all the concepts that I can then put into action. I do feel the info learned here is valid and will be helpful. In addition I read "if I have to tell you one more time" and it melds nice with this book. Same type of principles, but with more action plan specifics. I think the two together will really benefit my parenting.

Yes, for reference information. It was alot to take in at first, but once I opened my mind to possibilities them I felt like I was taking in information.
What did you like best about this story?
The banter back and forth between the parents. Everyone seems to think that "it" won't happen to their child, and quite frankly, it certainly can happen to anyone.The
Which scene was your favorite?
The final meeting between the parents, when they realized that the group was just as beneficial to them to continue.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I had alot of "aha" moments, where I realized that I jump to conclusion way too fast with my teenager.
