I Wanna Be Sedated 30 Writers On Parenting Teenagers

Raising a teen is perhaps the most challenging phase of child rearing, a time when kids push every known hot button and wreak havoc with carefully thoughtout strategies. I Wanna Be Sedated brings humor and perspective to some of the deepest worries of parents. Joyce Maynard explores the house rules for boy-girl sleepovers, Dave Barry regales readers with his son's travel mishaps, Daniel Glick writes about the drug dilemma, Debra Gwartney speaks candidly about parenting a runaway daughter, and Anna Quindlen reflects upon her rapidly emptying nest. The essays include real-life quandaries over tattoos, thongs, slacker report cards, and college applications. Featuring thirty dynamic, top-caliber writers-and one fabulous cartoonist-this collection speaks to the demanding, exhilarating, and occasionally mind-blowing task of parenting teenagers.Conlon, Faith is the author of 'I Wanna Be Sedated 30 Writers On Parenting Teenagers' with ISBN 9781580051279 and ISBN 1580051278.
