Your Teenager Is Not Crazy

Understanding Your Teen's Brain Can Make You a Better Parent

As God allows us to understand the mystery and marvel of brain science, we have the exciting opportunity to reexamine our assumptions about human behavior. Perhaps nowhere does this impact our lives more profoundly than when we think about raising children - especially teenagers. Where parents often see a sweet boy or girl who has morphed into an incomprehensible bundle of hormones and angst, what we really ought to be seeing is an amazing young adult whose brain is under heavy construction. And changing the way we see our teens will revolutionize our relationships with them.

Organized by what we hear teens say - things like "I'm bored", "you just don't understand", "why are you freaking out?", "I hate my life!", and "hold on...I just have to send this" - this book helps parents develop compassion for their teens and discernment in parenting them as their brains are progressively remodeled. Rather than seeing the teen years as a time to simply hold on for dear life, Dr. Jeramy and Jerusha Clark show that they can be an amazing season of cultivating creativity, self-awareness, and passion for the things that really matter.

There is hope!

This book is a huge boost for any weary parents of teens. It increased my compassion and helped me to build a bigger toolbox of resources for the parenting saga.

When science and Christian beliefs meet and equip me in parenting!

Learned so much about the development of the brain that happens during teen years! I very much believe in science... and I also know that Christianity is supported by (and supports) science... so I love how the Clarks include faith, science, and more in this book.

Only recommendation is that you put a book cover on the book if you’re reading hard copy... or try not to let your kiddo see the title. My kiddo was a little offended that I must think she’s crazy if I’m reading this book... but I guess even that is an amazing opening for good conversation! :).

an excellent read!

excellent insight! Will assist me in my own research of the teenage brain. I must read for anyone working with youth.

Packed with helpful, practical insight!
