No Nonsense Guide to Parenting Teenagers: Talk so they listen, Set boundaries that stick, and build strong relationships to last a lifetime
Build the strong, respectful relationship you want with your teen-in just weeks, even if right now you're mostly communicating through sighs, shrugs, and slammed doors.
Are you tired of conversations with your teen ending in either awkward silence or dramatic monologues worthy of an Oscar?
Do you wonder how to set boundaries that work, without it turning into a daily game of emotional dodgeball?
Are you searching for a proven, practical approach that respects your teens' need for independence and your need to keep your sanity?
If you answered "yes", you're not alone. Parenting teenagers today can feel like trying to assemble furniture without instructions-blindingly frustrating and strangely personal. But real change is possible.
The No-Nonsense Guide to Parenting Teenagers offers a research-backed, refreshingly relatable roadmap for families of all shapes and sizes--complete with a few laughs, because if we're not laughing, we're crying in the laundry room.
You'll learn how to:
Worried this won't fit your unique family or busy schedule?
Unlike those overly polished guides that seem to assume you have a full-time nanny and a meditation room, this book is designed for real-world parents-the kind who juggle work, carpool, and the occasional existential crisis. These strategies are flexible, realistic, and work for all types of families. Whether you're solo-parenting, step-parenting, tag-teaming, or flying by the seat of your yoga pants, this book meets you where you are.
Even if you've read other books or taken advice that fizzled, you'll find something fresh, practical, and doable here. Each chapter is short and actionable-because you've got stuff to do, and this book gets it.
A Note from the Author:
Whether you're a single parent, stepparent, foster parent, grandparent, co-parent, or part of a beautifully blended chosen family, if you're raising a teenager, this book is for you. I wrote it to offer real talk, real tools, and real encouragement, which I wish I had when I was going through it with my first daughter, Avery. You're not alone, and despite what your teens might say... you're doing better than you think.

You'll learn how to:
- Understand the gloriously unpredictable teenage brain (yes, it's still under construction)
- Use communication techniques that get your teen to talk-without the eye rolls
- Start conversations that don't end in WWIII
- Set boundaries that stick (without having to repeat yourself 47 times)
- Support your teens' mental health even when things get hard
- Respond to emotional outbursts with empathy, not explosions (yours or theirs)
- Balance freedom and responsibility without feeling like you're walking a tightrope.
- Navigate screen time, social media, and digital drama like a boss
- Tame sibling rivalry (or at least reduce the daily squabbling to a low simmer)
- Respect and support your teen's identity-whether they're figuring out the color of their hair, culture, or just their taste in music
- Take care of yourself, too, because you can't pour from an empty coffee mug
