Description
About The Book:This unique book answers the 75 most pressing questions that teens pose today. Over the last 20 years, the author has gathered more than 24,000 "secret" questions that teens want answered. He explains how to listen and respond effectively, and to generate honest conversations -- even about hot topics like drugs, sex, depression and suicide.About Author:Yehuda Fine, ordained rabbi, accredited school teacher, family therapist and author, spent 16 years on the guidance staff at Yeshiva University, and for nearly 20 years reached out to thousands of runaway teens in New York City as documented in his previous book, "Times Square Rabbi." Today he is known as America's most streetwise family and teen expert. He regularly conducts seminars for public schools, private and alternative schools, parent groups, social service agencies, youth groups, hospitals, recovery centers and social workers. He is a popular guest on talk radio and TV nationwide, and a frequent contributor to scores of magazines and newspapers. Currently, he resides in Florida and is the head of a new synagogue as well as teaching at a Hebrew high school. His dog Brooklyn is always by his side when he goes bass fishing. His citrus trees are his gardening joy. He never misses spring training for the New York Yankees and of course is a devoted Disneyophile.Reviews:"We shouldn't see these kids as oddballs, 'but as kids who are desperately crying out for help,' Rabbi Yehuda Fine says. He is a family therapist in Evergreen this week to present a keynote address on school violence..." — Janet Simmons, Rocky Mountain News "Rabbi Fine has been delving into the psyches of adolescents for decades and now with his second book he has written a parental guide on relationships with parents and their teenagers. He has helped shape the counseling technique used in my practice of adolescent medicine." — James G. Scelfo MD, FAAFP, Medical Director, Disney Marathon and the Citrus Bowl, Medical Consultant NBC affiliate WESH Channel 2 Orlando "Yehuda Fine is an interpreter, a conduit, a bridge builder. He perhaps better than anyone knows how to repair the downed lines of communication between adolescents and adults. America: dial him in before those worlds drift too far apart." — Chris Mercogliano, Director of the Albany Free School and author of 'Making It Up As We Go Along' and 'Teaching the Restless' "Finally a book for parents of 'tweens and teens that conveys a clear, concise message for American families. Not only a great read, but a book every parent will find extremely helpful. This is the parenting book and is a one of kind endeavor, for no one has spoken to more teens and parents than Rabbi Yehuda Fine." — Dr. Efrem Nulman, Senior University Dean of Students, Yeshiva University, New York "Rabbi Yehuda Fine is more than a national treasure, he’s a necessity, and sadly, something of an anomaly; A frontline spiritual warrior for the rights and survival of America's youth, whether they are struggling at home or adrift and written-off in the back alleys of our cities and towns. But what gives added credence to this powerful book is that Yehuda Fine is also a father of a brood of fantastic kids of his own. He walks the walk, he talks the talk and he works tirelessly and boldly in a shadowy world that precious few have the courage to penetrate and most would like to ignore." — Alex Winter, Writer/Director and Actor, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Lost Boys, Freaked, Fever. - from Amzon
