There are a few Buddhism and mothering and Buddhism and parenting books on Amazon that are great...if you want to know details pm me, I can go find them. They dont discuss religion just philosophical perspectives on parenting that are wonderful.
Some of the role-playing cartoons are kind of hokey, but this does help parents to carefully decide theier words and reactions to typical teenage experiences. It's helped me quite a bit in staying calm, rational and understanding under pressure.
Parent-Teen Breakthrough Wish this one was still in print! Lucky there's enough used copies around that I can still recommend it. It puts relationship-building first, a practice that has had incredible results with my own kids.

I second this one (and agree about the cartoons.....) This book even helped me communicate with co-workers more effectively. It is based on respect - for yourself and for your children.
Faber and Mazlish also have a book on communicating with teachers. It's called How To Talk So Kids Can Learn and it addresses the way teachers and parents communicate with each other as well as how to talk to the kids.
Also, if you want to read about how they became effective parents, read their first book
Liberated Parents, Liberated Children.

I read the kid version of this and it was excellent. One of the best parenting type books that I have found.
My daughter really liked this book. About adolescent girls, and how to help them.
