Your teen still needs you. They just need you differently now.
The door stays closed more often. Every request turns into a standoff. “How was school?” gets a one-word answer, if that. And somewhere along the way, it started to feel like your teen’s friends know them better than you do.
You’ve probably tried what most of us were taught: taking the phone, grounding, lecturing, pushing harder. And you’ve probably noticed it isn’t working. If anything, the wall gets taller.
Here’s what most parenting advice misses: the behavior you see is only the leaves. The roots are the relationship. When the roots are deep, your teen wants to be good for you. When they’re shallow, nothing else works.
Parenting Teens: A Relationship-Based Workbook helps you tend those roots. It draws on Dr. Gordon Neufeld’s developmental attachment approach and turns it into practical things you can say and do this week.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- The six roots of attachment, and how to tell which ones need tending in your relationship
- Why teens pull toward peers at puberty, and how to fill that space with caring adults instead
- What counterwill is, why your teen resists even reasonable requests, and how to stop taking it personally
- How to “collect” your teen before you direct them, so they’re more open to hearing you
- How to bridge conflict and distance so a hard moment doesn’t damage the relationship
- Why taking away what teens care about backfires, and what works better
- How to move from manager to trusted consultant as your teen grows up
This is a workbook, not just a read. Every section includes:
- Clear diagrams that make the ideas easy to grasp
- Pause and Reflect questions to notice what’s true right now
- Journaling prompts to work through your own feelings and history
- Coaching questions to explore on your own or bring to a session
- Practice pages, including a weekly connection tracker and a map of the caring adults in your teen’s life
This workbook is for you if:
- Your teen feels further away than they used to
- You’re tired of power struggles that leave everyone hurt
- You want to influence your teen without controlling them
- You believe the relationship matters more than winning the argument
Your teen hasn’t outgrown you. Let’s help them feel it.
