Summary: From the author of Survival Meditations for Parents of Teens
Review: Absolutely one of the best parenting books to help you understand how your teen's mind works and why things seems so crazy sometimes. Dr. Bradley is wonderful, and the best is when he shares from personal experience. Check out my book for daily inspiration of a spiritual kind when desperation hits you!

Summary: Sense (Of Humor) and Sensability!
Review: 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.

Summary: Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy: Loving Your Kid Without Losing Your
Review: 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.

Summary: Well worth the full price!
Review: Dr. Bradley has written an informative and insightful book for parents and guardians of adolescents/teenagers. However, it is a book where any and every person who works with adolescents and teenagers can find important information and ideas about successful interaction with this volatile, exciting, and most important time in these young lives. Dr. Bradley is very open, honest, and caring about teens and adolescents. He offers both personal and client insights into life lessons that have been learned and used successfully. I very highly recommend this wonderful book for anyone who cares about teens and preteens and how to support them as they negotiate this time in their lives.

Summary: Adventurous World Of Advanced Parenting
Review: I'm still enjoying the use of this incredible book!! It was an approach to mainly understand about the tedious reality of parent and adolescent relations. For those who are still parents but want to have a very early start in approaching to your children before adolescence strikes this is a #1 must have guide for better maintaining stable relationships.In the next generation, our society is still dying to develop a new environment for many teenage children. It'll be very helpful for an adolescent (aged 13-16) to live with his or her adult guardian, a major part of their intelluctual development. Or, if you're a non-parent but want to become a counselor in this parental field must get this truly, incredible book to study from. Please parents and stepparents, don't ever attempt to discuss this at all with your teenagers once you start your exploratory in reading this book. Most of all, enjoy!
