Reviews for ""Mom, Jason's Breathing on Me!"": The Solution to Sibling Bickering

Praise for Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall? Funny, sound, and compassionate, [this book] will truly help you talk to your kids and not get mad all the time. --BETH WINSHIP The Boston Globe Praise for It's Not Fair, Jeremy Spencer's Parents Let Him Stay Up All Night! Dr. Wolf's anecdotes ring so true that you are sure to hear your own voice--not to mention the voices of your children--in these pages. --PAMELA ABRAMS Editor-in-Chief, Child Praise for Dr. Anthony Wolf's Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall? The title of this wonderful book reveals at once that Dr. Wolf does more than listen to young people. He hears them and then goes beyond their protestations and pleading to provide us with an understanding of their lives. Without piety, self-righteousness, or arrogance, he offers assistance and advice for living with, dare I even say raising, our teens in a loving and compassionate manner. --THOMAS J. COTTLE, Ph. D. Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology Dr. Wolf empathizes with parents, does not belittle teens, and makes both wonderfully human. Get Out of My Life has Spock's common sense, the insight of Freud, and the wit of Bombeck. I welcome this book. --DOROTHY M. ZEISER, Ph. D. Chairman, Department of Child Study Education and Special Education, Saint Joseph College I love this book! It is easy to read, practical, and while putting the needs of the children first understands the instincts of parents. --KATHY LYNN Parenting Today
