    5.0 out of 5 stars Indeed, a teen survival guide!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    My fear was that my daughter would not be into this book, because important books such as this are not easy or exciting to read. My daughter picked it up from among many books I got for me and her and kept on reading all the interesting topics (at least for her) and kept it around to read more. It is fascinating to see her not glued to the computer but reading this book on and off and keeping it next to her bed. Now my baby, I mean my daughter actually gives advices to her friends using tips from this book.

    Other than the simple and likable way of discussing sensitive topics; Dr. Bradley redeems parents' dignity in their kids' eyes and explain parents' points of view to teens without lecturing them. This book is one of a kind that doesn't focus on preaching and lecturing teens, but addresses their developing minds from their perspective and helps restore the connection between teens and parents. Dr. Bradley is a saint, at least in my eyes!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great value but may be hard for a teen to get through
    Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    I got this book when one of my kids expressed hurt feelings that I got Bradley's other book for parents called "Yes, Your Teen is Crazy." Fair is fair, right? We all liked the cover illustration a lot. Well, neither of my teens has read the book so far. I think the quantity of content could be a bit overwhelming. I think it's a great book though. I love the author's writing style a lot. You just have to know yourself or your kid to know if you/they will read a hefty, nearly 400 page book (unlike Harry Potter which both my kids delighted in reading).

    The book is divided into three parts:
    1) You Right Now (body, brain, psychological development and craziness)
    2) Your World (culture, parents, family, peers, school)
    3) Your Day to Day Life (made up of 30 topics in alphabetical order from aggression and appearance to working.)

    The way I see it, if you or a kid you know can get a bit of help from reading any part of the book, it's worth its weight in gold (like what to say when a kid is getting pressured to do something she doesn't want to). When my kids were little, I got a parenting tip to have a home rich with resources. I still try to keep it that way because you never know what they'll pick up and get into. This book is going to stay on my shelf as a resource for me my kids. Recommended!

    Edit, seven months later: Yes! As I hoped, the book has been discreetly picked up and read in sections that are relevant. :-)

    5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter claimed this and read 100 pages the first day
    Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    I haven't actually read this yet. My 12-year-old claimed it as soon as she saw the cover. We laughed when she read the back cover as I was looking over her shoulder trying to read too, and it said, "your parent is probably reading over your shoulder right now trying to see what trash you're reading!" I really like what I have seen leafing through it when I got a chance. I noted that in the first afternoon (a snow day with nothing going on) she had read 102 pages. I noticed that it said that the people who try to limit you are the ones who care about you, and that you should try things even if you think you might fail, because you will either succeed or see that failing wasn't so terrible and go on to try the next thing. I like the tone and voice, which seem encouraging without being either too preachy or too childish (and my daughter is sensitive to any tone that is even slightly too young or too patronizing).

    There are lots of books to choose from; I'm glad I chose this one. Its predecessor was recommended by my women's health practitioner, and I chose this one instead because I thought the other title, "Yes your teen is crazy," would alienate my daughter if she saw it, whereas this title made her immediately own the book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Every adolescent should read this.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This book touches on almost every topic adolescents will encounter in their teen years. Dr. Bradley's writing method is easy for anyone to read and understand using examples and a touch of humor to lighten the boring seriousness some teens may find in these sort of books. I recommend parents read this as well. If you read it from the prespective of you as a teen,I believe it will help you remember those years and be able to relate and connect with your teen on a much deeper level improving your relationship.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Brains like ours.....
    Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I read Bradley's books "Yes Your Teen is Crazy" and "Yes Your Parents are Crazy", when researching my own book "The Owner's Guide to the Teenage Brain". "Yes Your Parents are Crazy" is one of the few books on teenage brains addressed to the teenagers themselves (like "The Owner's Guide to the Teenage Brain") as most are addressed to exasperated parents. Both books provide knowledge about what is happening in these important years, and as a pair, allow kids and parents to read about the changes in partnership -you could do this in some kind of pact to reduce tensions in your relationships.

    I bought Mr. Bradley's "Yes, Your Teen is Crazy" and found it filled with wonderful humorous advise on how to successfully survive my son's teen years without (Me) ending up in jail. I was hoping to give something to my son to enlighten him a liitle as to why we do the things we do as parents. I put this book in his room.....I was encouraged that it didn't immediately make its way to the trash can. After 2 months, it is now on his bookcase - I'm happy with the baby steps.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor delivery - 399 pages of mostly words...
    Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I loved the books written for parents, but this one misses the "target audience" visually as far as I am concerned, especially for your average teen boy. While I expect the content is great, it is too lengthy and does not have enough pictures - just a few good cartoons for 399 pages of content. There is a ton of potential here. However, if your kid is one who will only read books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or a graphic novel, save your money.

    Also consider having someone besides you give it to your teen or give it to them when they are young enough not to completely reject whatever you touch:-)
