My Teen and me.: 20 meaningful questions to ease your frustration, build trust, communicate, and connect with your teen.

by Nancy Benitez

Overview

Parenting a teen can often feel frustrating and disempowering. Adolescence snuck in! 

• They are more resistant to what you have to say and they hide, keep secrets, and distance themselves from you,
• They question all logic because strangers on social media know more than you and let's not forget that they now know everything!
• You argue more than you laugh and conversations are summed up in one or two sentences, "It was good." or "I don't know!" 

What happened to that little person who looked up to you?

Was there something you could have done differently so you didn't feel so disconnected and at times really disrespected?

The answer is No! You're right where you are meant to be. 

If you picked up this book, it means you're an incredible parent with a caring heart willing to grow and change and your relationship with your teen is about to get a glow-up!

This book will help you tap back into that parenting power and into the capable, confident parent you know you can be.

With 20 engaging questions and prompts, you will learn the power of asking, connecting, and opening the lines of communication with your teen on topics such as friendship, divorce, bullying, social media, sex, the death of loved ones, and more.

As a mother, parent educator, coach, author, and TEDx speaker who has been offering families workshops, and support since 2009, I am passionate about helping ease your frustration through creative ways that will create a more connected and loving relationship with your teen. 

You can do this!
