It seems that things just keep going from bad to worse. My daughter met a boy about 6 weeks ago at the mall. She has seen him only the one time (to our knowledge), but he is her “boy...

Dr Bradley

She has not discontinued her meds. I know because I give them to her every morning. And yes, she actually takes them.

She just got back from two weeks in a adolescent behavioral...

Dr Bradley,

Well, while things were going well for four months, they have now suddenly disintegrated.

She exhibits inappropriate behavior with boys. She has always, with any boy, gone from...

dear parent,

I'd like to add my support to Dr. Bradley. I used to do the same thing your husband did. That lead us down a horrible path. My husband and I are not always on the same page, but we...

Dr Bradley,

We took her to the psychiatrist yesterday and she started 2 mg Abilify last evening. She finds it very hard to accept she needs help. When he said he wanted to put her on the...

Dr. Bradley

Sorry should have put this with the previous post.
We did not put her on Abilify as things had been going pretty well (compared to this time last year). Her grades still are not...

Dr. Bradley,

My daughter has a boyfriend for about two weeks. He broke up with her on Christmas Day. She was very upset and crying. When she came down to “help” with dinner preparation she had...

Dr Bradley,

Thanks again. After the last incident on 9/17, (10/2 post) the psychiatrist and counselor wanted to put her on Abilify. My husband and I don’t like to use drugs unless we really feel...

Thank you for letting us know how much better things have gotten.
I know we all reach out for help when things are bleak but as things get better we don't post. People like you, that take the...

Dr. Bradley,

I realize this answer is over three years old, but I couldn’t have found it at a better time. I copied and pasted it onto a word document for me to keep and re-read.

Thank you

Dr Bradley

Just thought I bring you up to date on my daughter. I know that reading about other parent’s difficulties and solutions has helped me tremendously. It also helps to know that we are...

Dear Dr Bradley

Thank you for answering back so quickly. My husband and I are VERY concerned and wanted to ask you what the prognosis for Major Depressive Disorder is. Acting out is one thing...

Dear Dr Bradley

Well I guess I spoke too soon. Last Friday my daughter wanted to go to the mall. I asked if her boyfriend was going to be there. She said she told him to call her if he was...

Dr Bradley,

Things have been going pretty well. Two months ago, we had an appt for our daughter to get tested for a learning disability (ie test anxiety or something) since her grades were so...

Dr. Bradley,

I read your book "Yes, Your Parents are Crazy!" in preparation for letting my daughter read it. It's a wonderful book, although there are a few things I wish you hadn't been quite so...

Dr Bradley

Well it took her a whole week but she finally went back out to the barn. She gathered up her courage and apologized to all concerned. One person told her that making mistakes is part...

Momma,

I’m sure this girl does play your son. He’s only 14. He still needs to acquire the life experiences to be able to recognize people like her. Without exposure to people like this girl, he...

Dear Momma,

Just wanted to lend a little support. What Dr. Bradley says does work! My daughter is also going through some tough times. One day she refused to come home from school. We gave her...

Dr. Bradley,

We had been doing pretty well for the past three weeks. Last night my daughter made some very poor decisions concerning the rules at the barn where we lease her a horse. The people...

Dr. Bradley

Thought you might like to hear some “good” developments. The day after the 6 hr rage episode (3/19 post), she refused to go to school. I called her in truant. I hated to since her...

Bill,

I'd ask your son's pediatrician or family doctor for some names of couselors. Let them know what you didn't like about the last one. Usually the medical community has a good idea of which...

Dr. Bradley,

What do you do if the child refuses to talk? As I understand it, we are supposed to negotiate consequences before imposing them. What if she refuses to talk?

I understand that...

Dr. Bradley,

Thanks so much AGAIN!!

We did just turn her phone back on, but without saying anything. Later, when I suggested she give a friend a call she said, rather sarcastically, “my phone...

Dennig,

just a thought.... we have blocked my space at our home. the reason we used was all of the viruses and spybots that can infect your computer thorough a system like this.

we unblock...

Thank you, Dr Bradley!!.

We are still not quite sure what to do come Saturday morning. Our intention had been to turn the phone back on if she complied with the stated responsibilities. (she...
