We know how to use everything: We know how to use our legs to walk, we know how to make friends using words and we know how to use our mobile phones to play games. What we need to know is how to use our thoughts, feelings and words, not just the objects around us and our bodies. It must be strange to live around other people if you don't know how to treat or use them. In particular, if you don't know how to use your parents, whom you meet every single day, you will feel like you're living with bricks. The term "use" in this book only means to bring out the best in one another. It's best to consider this book's true purpose as an instruction manual for living a good, happy life together by using yourself and your parents. Now, let's jump into the world of using parents.
After reading this book, adolescent readers will be able to understand themselves and their parents and realize that, as part of a team that also includes their parents, they have to be responsible for the family atmosphere as well. They will get to learn basic and intense methods of using parent, as well as various detailed secrets. The key to parent using, according to this book, is "understanding" and "words." Language is very important in all relationships. Just like when you have to use words first and keep on talking if you want to become friends, you need to get close to your parents if you want to use them.
