Michael J. Bradley, Ed.D.
Tactics for coping with conflict, teaching consequences, improving communication, staying connected, and more
In Crazy-Stressed, based on his career of counseling kids and their parents, psychologist Michael Bradley locates the most powerful protective trait: resilience. Teens with this crucial quality know how to handle difficulty, overcome obstacles, and bounce back from setbacks.
This is the book to keep on the bedside table so you can consult it as the need arises—which is sometimes daily!
One of Doc Mike's first books, When Things Get Crazy With your Teen continues to be an excellent resource for the most common behaviors that make you think your kid is crazy—and that are driving you crazy as well. The Table of Contents will direct you to those behaviors and give you the why, the how, and the what-to-do-now, including when to seek professional help.
Here is the book that updates the rulebook, giving parents training and skills needed to transform teenage children into strong, confident, productive adults.
Dr. Mike's first book Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy! is now widely regarded as the gold standard in teen parenting books. Publishers Weekly calls it "invaluable," and actor Martin Sheen says, "...everybody who cares about the future of the human race has lots to learn from this guy. You can't afford not to read this book."

In his second book, Yes, Your Parents Are Crazy!, Dr. Bradley covers the same issues from a teen perspective, writing in a language and format that teens can understand and relate to. In his foreword, Clay Aiken says, "This book is awesome. It will help you discover how to believe in yourself and see how easy it is to feel comfortable with who you really are.”
