Publisher’s Weekly and Booklist have already weighed in on Stephen Wallace’s Reality Gap, saying he “bridges the gap” and that his “hands-on research and in-depth interviews are tremendously useful, as are his discussions of the role of the media and the mixed signals gleaned from parents.”
Wallace bridges the gap with research showing an appalling lack of knowledge by teens of health and legal consquences of risky behavior. Based on research and his own 25-year experience as a school psychologist and counselor, Wallace offers suggestions for improving communication between teens and their parents with age-specific “decision-points” to guide parents in addressing particular issues. – Booklist
