Dear Dr. Bradley,
I just completed your book, "Yes, Your Teen Is Crazy" and would like to thank you for the enormous insight it provides. My 14 year old son has turned (as you so well described) from a loving, respectful child to a distant and rebellious adolescent. It is truly as if my son has ‘died’ and someone else has taken over him. The grief I’ve been experiencing is so real.
I just purchased the book, "Yes, Your Parents Are Crazy", and would like to give it to him to read. I want so much to regain a connection to him, because at this time, I feel that I have lost that, and I feel that this book might be of help.
However, I cannot see him being open to reading it, especially if it’s through my request, so I know I have to be careful in my approach. I would truly appreciate any suggestions, because I do not want to fail at this and have him laugh and push the book aside. I was even thinking of attaching an incentive to reading it ($). What might be my best approach?
Thank you.
