How To Raise Your Parent

How To Raise Your Parents
Author: Sarah O'Leary Burningham
Series: ---
Publisher: Chronicle Books
How Received: publicist

Being a teen (or the parent of a teen) doesn't have to be so hard. How to Raise Your Parents will help teens and their parents navigate those years between training bras and keys to the family car. In a voice teens will relate to and parents will appreciate, author Sarah O'Leary Burningham offers smart advice about negotiation and parental hot buttons and a little insight about what the world looks like from a parent's point of view.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Some of the tips were obvious, some not so, and she does give a lot of helpful hints on how to quickly get yourself out of deep water (though I think she recommends crying a few times to much...)

Rating: 8/10

Happy reading!
