Description: Parenting Wisely (American Teen) is an interactive CD-ROM program designed for parents of adolescents and pre-adolescents (ages 8-18). Parenting Wisely (American Teen) requires parents to have neither previous computer experience nor the ability to read (the computer reads all text aloud). Strong empirical evidence exists that using Parenting Wisely (American Teen) reduces child behavior problems, delinquency and substance abuse among adolescents, improves parenting knowledge and skills, and strengthens the relationship between adolescent and parent.
