Episode 46: Book Review: Yes, your teen is crazy!

In this episode, we’re reviewing the book Yes, Your Teen is Crazy! by Michael Bradley. The book offers valuable insights into the unpredictable world of teenagers and provides practical advice for parents navigating these challenging years. We’ll be exploring key topics such as: understanding the adolescent brain, balancing support and independence, peer groups and peer pressure, and practical parenting tips. Alongside this, I’ll be answering questions such as: How does understanding the development of the adolescent brain help parents make sense of teen behaviour? What are some effective ways to balance giving teens independence while still offering essential guidance? In what ways can parents support their teen in choosing positive peer groups? Why is it important for parents to stay calm and listen actively during conflicts? How can encouraging identity exploration benefit a teenager’s development? What are some challenges you face in presenting a united front with your co-parent? Without further ado, let’s dive in. Follow me on: 1. Instagram: @leannetranpsychology 2. Facebook: @Leanne Tran 3.
