Staying connected to a teenager who's pulling away, without giving up ground or turning every day into a standoff.
Adolescence changes the parenting job overnight — the same rules that worked at twelve can backfire at fifteen. This guide is for parents who want to stay close to their teenager without constant conflict or constant capitulation.
Inside: understanding the teenage brain without excusing every behavior, picking battles that actually matter, keeping communication open when teens go quiet, and navigating independence, risk, and trust as the stakes get higher. Direct, unsentimental, and built for the long stretch of adolescence, not just one hard conversation.
Includes 6 fill-in worksheets and self-assessments (print version), AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter, and clickable links to Claude and ChatGPT in the digital version. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
