Praise for Dr. Anthony Wolfs 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.

Dr. Wolf empathizes with parents, does not belittle teens, and makes both wonderfully human. Get Out of My Life has Spocks common sense, the insight of Freud, and the wit of Bombeck. I welcome this book.

I love this book! It is easy to read, practical, and while putting the needs of the children first understands the instincts of parents.
