It's a really good book. If you live near us, the hold list at the library is long, but it was worth the wait! Christine, the point the study was making was the have rules for a reason and to allow older teens to negotiate things like clothing or food or free time choices to reinforce that the parent realizes they're no longer a child..but yes, they must be home by 10 and no, they cannot wear THAT to the prom (or whatever). Wendy, I haven't ever seen a baby einstein video, but they sound kind of lame. I don't think Champ will like them-especially if I just trash talk them all the time. It probably helps that we don't watch much television. Though the study did indicate that watching sitcoms was better than baby einstein! HA! Yes! It’s a really good book.

Is there nothing in between arguing with the rules and ignoring them? Good stuff, though I’m not entirely sold on the point third from the bottom.
