Talking to Your Teenage Son
A Practical Guide to Communication and Discipline for Long-Distance Dads and Weekend Moms
Your son used to tell you everything. Now you get one-word answers, a phone camera pointed at the ceiling, and a bedroom door that stays shut.
If you're a long-distance dad calling in from another city — or another country — or a weekend mom trying to make the most of limited time together, this book was written for you, by a parent living through the exact same thing.
Talking to Your Teenage Son translates the confusing, sometimes maddening behavior of adolescent boys — the silence, the shouting, the lying, the hours behind a screen — into what's actually happening inside a developing teenage brain, then hands you word-for-word scripts, texts, and step-by-step routines to reach him without a lecture or a fight.
Inside, you'll find:
Every script comes in two versions: one for parents who are comfortable with warm, expressive language, and a "no-cheese," zero-drama version for parents who'd rather keep it factual. Take what fits your family, and leave the rest.
This isn't a clinical parenting manual. It's a practical, occasionally imperfect field guide from one parent to another — grounded in real research on the adolescent brain, and tested in real, sometimes messy conversations with a real teenage son.
