Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy!
by Michael J. Bradley
A psychologist explains the adolescent brain in plain, funny language: it is under construction, and the irrationality is neurological, not personal. The second half is tactics for staying calm, holding limits and keeping the relationship.
Read it if…
you need to be told your teenager's behaviour is normal before you can respond to it.
Skip it if…
you dislike humour in advice.
Three things you will actually use
- The teen brain is a construction site.
- Your calm is the intervention.
- Relationship first, rules second.
Do this first
Read the brain chapter and lower your expectations of consistency accordingly.
Our verdict
Normal, neurologically.
