[.ca] Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!: Loving Your Kid Without Losing ... (ISBN 0936197447)

Hilarious and informative:
I had such a great time reading this book. It's not only informative but it's also funny, which lightens up any situation you are facing as a parent of teens. I highly recommend it! You won't be able to put it down.

Yes, Your Teen is Crazy!:
I've not yet finished reading this book but I couldn't wait to write a review because I can see clearly how great it is and how much it will help me in negotiating the minefield of adolescence. It's amazing just how much it has helped me (and my teen) already. If you want a book that is very clearly written for a target audience of the everyday parent, then this is it. Mr Bradley does not hesitate to speak the painful truth and that is a rare commodity these days. He has also obviously "been there" and his honesty lends credence to his methods. Thank-you Dr Bradley!!! ..........Catherine

Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy: Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your:
As the grandmother of two boys ages 10 & 13, I bought this book with the hope that I could help my daughter cope with some of the negative behaviors the boys are exhibiting. I now preach to everyone I know who have children and grandchildren that they need to read this book. It is wonderful at providing insight into what the child is experiencing. Dr. Bradley is even better at nudging us (sometimes in a gentle manner, sometimes in a not so gentle manner) to look in the mirror at our own behavior and parenting. I laughed, I cried, and then I laughed and cried some more. My daughter is now reading this masterpiece and is enjoying it as much as I did.

Sense (Of Humor) and Sensability!:
As the facilitator of a drop-in support group for parents of rebellious teens I have my nose in parenting books all the time. Dr. Bradley's book is one of the best I've read dealing with the trials of parenting today's teens. (No! They're not just like us when we were teens! And, No! You can't parent them like your parents parented you!) His sense of humor combined with his wisdom gained from couseling teens and their parents, and the excerpts of actual counseling conversations leave you feeling like you've been given the privilege of sitting in on real-life sessions of this successful psychologist's practice - all for only the price of the book! Since the number one problem parents bring in to our support group is teen rage and anger, I found Chapter 13-"Surviving Your Kids Rage" especially useful - yes, useful - following his first commandment for parents of teens: Thou shalt be as the dispassionate cop unto thine own child: be cool, not the fool" Dr. Bradely takes the reader step-by-step through a very new way of responding to the dreaded purple faced, popping neck veins and clenched fist emotion of rage. If on a scale of 1-10 you have reached a "10" in wanting to do something to become a better parent (and in return be rewarded with an improved relationship with your teen) read this book - and then do what Dr. Bradely suggests! Changing your teen's behavior starts with changing you! Full of humor, practical ideas, and best of all-hope for hurting parents.

A must-read book for parents of teens!:
I have never written a review on a book, but everyone out there needs to know how amazing and right-on this book is. The author explains & clarifies so much about our kids and what is going on in their head and in their world. It will suck you in and give you an amazing, eye-opening understanding of what teenagers are all about and the skills to make things better in your relationship with them. Help is here, seriously!
