Book Description

November 19, 2008

No, it’s not easy raising teenagers. Yes, there are sane solutions--in this problem-solving parent’s guide from the bestselling author of Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy

How should you respond when your teen comes home late? Wears inappropriate clothes? Is pregnant, or flunking out? You’ll find the answers here--right at your fingertips--in this quick-reference manual from one of the leading experts on adolescent behavior. As someone who has counseled hundreds of teens in his practice and as a father of two teens himself, Dr. Michael Bradley understands how teenagers can drive you crazy. Offering practical “first response” advice, he tells you exactly what to do and what NOT to do in about every scenario you’ll ever face with your kid,from messy rooms and monstrous moods to drug abuse and depression.

If you own a teen (or feel owned by one) the experts agree you need this book

“. . . a wonderful, straightforward, and extremely helpful book. Michael Bradley's advice is always compassionate, very much on the mark, and, above all, realistic.”
--Anthony E. Wolf, Ph.D., bestselling author of Get Out of My Life, but First Could You Drive Me and Cheryl to the Mall

“Raising teens can be quite a bumpy ride. When Things Get Crazy with Your Teen supplies an easy-to-read, practical, and valuable road map for the trip.”
--David Walsh, Ph.D., author of Why Do They Act That Way?

“Exceptional. . . . This is a book that I will highly recommend, not just to parents of my adolescent patients but for all parents attempting to raise teenagers in today's complex and stress-filled world.”
--Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., coauthor of Raising Resilient Children

“Parents will find fresh insights and concrete, no-nonsense help throughout . . ..”
--Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish, authors of How to Talk So Teens Will Listen & Listen So Teens Will Talk

Well done, very helpful, gives parents great insights! I think it helps you understand your child is going through a lot of changes and is still developing their mind and emotions -while we WANT to treat them like adults and they understand everything, they are still growing and dynamic people who want more freedom but don't always know how to handle it. Excellent insights, would recommend highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended to reduce parental panic and reassure your not alone!, July 28, 2010
This book has saved my sanity and my relationship with my son. It provides insightful, non-judgemental and practical dos and don'ts for dealing with my day to day challenges parenting a teen. This is the toughest and scariest time I have experienced as a parent, however I will keep this book handy on the white knuckle ride and who knows?, I may look back on this time as my greatest achievement as a parent! Thank you Dr Bradley from our whole family.
