Publisher's Description
▼▲For every bewildered parent, theres a kid longing to be understood. What parent hasnt 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? Feldhahn and Rice 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 dont "get" about their kids. Youll 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.
Author Bio

Editorial 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, Im always trying to communicate to parents exactly what Shaunti and Lisa so eloquently and poignantly communicate in For Parents Only. Every parent of teens should read this brilliant book!"Dannah Gresh, author of And 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 Lisas insights and discoveries like sponges. This is not just another book on parenting. It is a fascinating look at the way your childs mind works. We plan to use For Parents Only as a curriculum in our home group."Andy Stanley, pastor, North Point Community Church
"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 web site."Jim Burns, Ph.D., President, HomeWord, and author of Confident 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 of Creative Correction, The Busy Moms Guide to Prayer, and Taking Care of the "Me" in Mommy
"For Parents Only beautifully breaks down the communication code between parents and children. Shaunti and Lisa consistently support their findings with extensive research and rock-solid solutions. This book delivers and we highly recommend it!"Dr Gary and Barb Rosberg, Americas Family Coaches, authors of The 5 Sex Needs of Men & Women and co-hosts of Dr. Gary and Barb RosbergYour Marriage Coaches
"Shaunti Feldhahn s latest series of books have helped her readers unlock some of the mysteries of family relationships. Now she and Lisa Rice have given us keys to understanding our teenagers by hearing directly from them about why they do what they do. We only wish that this book had been written when our kids were younger!"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? Thats right, she said, Lets ask the children. Instead of speculating and postulating and pontificating, Shaunti and Lisa have done a brilliant thing. Theyve asked the children. And the childrenteenagershave told them the truth. I commend this important book to you."Dr. Robert Wolgemuth, best-selling author of She Calls Me Daddy and Dads Bible
