      In this revised third edition, Phelan (1-2-3 Magic) offers parents a humorous and laid-back approach to dealing with adolescents. He argues that "society has not yet found a way to deal with the fact that prolonged dependence is insulting to young people [and that the] inevitable result of prolonged adolescence in our culture is that teens will regularly feel irritation toward older folks and a sense of alienation from the society they are a part of." Phelan fully grasps the struggles parents face, and he does not mince words or sugarcoat the issues. He firmly believes that hostility and distance between parents and adolescents lead directly to teens' risky behavior. To avoid that, parents need to chillax, not take things personally, and put most adolescent behaviors into the MBA category (minor but aggravating). VERDICT While adolescent titles are a dime a dozen, this is just as good as Anthony Wolf's I'd Listen to My Parents If They'd Just Shut Up (2011). Recommended.
