Review ------ “Wendy Mogel's signature humor, humility and wisdom are back in full force in "The Blessing of a B Minus, "which will bring much-needed sanity to parents of teens. Hers is the voice that every parent dreams of finding while wading through the confusion of childrearing today: calm, knowing, empathetic and informed both by professional knowledge and personal experience. Her ins are infused with a widely appealing kind of faith that will strike a universal chord in parents seeking both a moral and practical compass. This is a book that will be re-read over and over again.” --Judith Warner, author of "Perfect Madness" and "We’ve Got Issues" “Wise, witty and well-written, this book is a treasury of common sense for anyone dealing with adolescents.” --Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" “In this remarkably frank, helpful book Wendy Mogel offers practical advice and comforting perspective on all the issues, large and small, that families of all faiths and backgrounds confront as their children move through adolescence. Here is a voice of humor, reason, and compassionate sanity in a culture driven by hyper-competitiveness, hyper-vigilance, and hyper-activity. "The Blessing of a B Minus" inspires and consoles. Most importantly, this very readable book gives us the tools we need to become more conscious, confident parents. This is not Jewish wisdom, it is human wisdom, and I for one am a most grateful recipient.” --Katrina Kenison, author of "The Gift of an Ordinary Day" “Wendy Mogel’s ability to make old wisdom new is uncanny. She is herself a wise woman. The parents of America – and therefore the children, too – should be grateful for her.” --Leon Wieseltier "Wise, witty and well-written, this book is a treasury of common sense for anyone dealing with adolescents." --Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of "When Bad Things Happen to Good People" "Wendy Mogel's signature humor, humility and wisdom are back in full force in "The Blessing of a B Minus, "which will bring much-needed sanity to parents of teens.
