Book ID/图书代码： 00440008B29821

English Summary/英文概要： The world of teen romance is sometimes chaotic and oftentimes confusing. What do you say when your 13-year-old asks, "How can I make a guy go out with me?" How do you respond to a 17-year-old who says she’s in love? What do you do with a daughter whose endless hookups and breakups leave her an emotional wreck? The answers, just like dating relationships, aren’t always easy.

This book gives parents a window into the teen dating scene and shows them how to maintain their sanity amid all the crushes, courtships, and infatuations of adolescents. Both the fears and the fun of teen dating are revealed as the authors look at some of its biggest issues:
*Age (How old should your daughter be before she starts dating, and what age should her dates be?)
*Today’s Teen Scene (How has dating changed since you were in high school?)
*Car Dates (Does your daughter have an escape route if a good date goes bad?)
*Appropriate Attire (When skin is in, is a bar midriff, backless dress, or plunging neckline being fashionable or foolish?)
*Gift Giving (Are gifts of underwear going over the top?)
*Internet Use (What are the dangers of meeting people and discussing dating relationships over the Web?)
*Breaking Up (How do you console a heartbroken teen? What can you do to help your daughter gracefully exit a relationship?)

The book urges parents to sit down and talk seriously with daughters about the purpose of dating to create family dating rules. Sample activities will help you get the conversation started. Inside, real-life dating stories, many silly, some scary, serve to remind parents that dating is a valuable experience that shouldn’t be denied or trivialized.

Awards/获奖情况：2006 Winner of The National Parenting Center’s Seal of Approval

"Boy does that title open up a can of worms! Every father’s nightmare. It’s not an easy subject but this book tackles it head-on and succeeds with flying colors. There are loads of common sense practical suggestions for dealing with the issue and each other during this awkward time. Parents found the book empowering, in effect giving them the tools to decide what course of action will work best for everyone. Parents told us that they really had no idea how to proceed, but after reading this book they learned that it is OK to ignore peer pressure and say "No" to their teen. Overall the book is lighthearted yet realistic. If you have a child just entering high school, pick up this book."---The National Parenting Center

"An incredibly valuable resource for any parent with a teenaged daughter who is navigating the turbulent waters of dating!" ---LeVar Burton

"Written by mothers and Girls and Boys Town workshop presenters Laura J. Buddenberg and Kathleen M. McGee, There Are No Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter: Surviving the Pitfalls of Teen Relationships is a "must-read" guide for parents about the teen dating scene - including and especially the dramatic changes that have taken place within it since the rise of email, text messaging, instant messaging, blogging, and other forms of cyber communication. There Are No Simple Rules For Dating My Daughter is a thoroughly comprehensive guide covering everything from how to set limits to ensure children’s safety, how to keep the lines of communication open, how to gently and respectfully break up (in a non-abusive relationship - anyone in an abusive relationship owes the other person no explanations when getting out), how to deal with the pain of rejection, how to recognize and terminate physically or emotionally abusive relationships, talking about sex with teens, and much more. A plain-spoken, readily understandable guide, highly recommended for mothers, fathers, and legal guardians of teens everywhere - and also for teens themselves!"---Library Bookwatch: March 2007
