Communicating With Teenagers workbook

Communicating With Teenagers Workbook
Build calmer, more effective communication with teenagers — without shouting, shutting down, or constant conflict.
 
Product Description
 
Communicating With Teenagers is a therapist-designed workbook created to support parents and caregivers who feel stuck, frustrated, or disconnected when trying to talk to teenagers.
Teenagers are not “difficult for no reason”. Their brains, emotions, identity, and independence are all developing at the same time — often leaving adults feeling unheard, shut out, or constantly on edge.
This workbook helps you understand what’s really happening beneath teenage communication, and how to respond in ways that reduce conflict, increase trust, and keep connection intact — even when conversations are hard.
 
Designed by experienced UK therapists, this workbook blends CBT-informed psychology, attachment-aware thinking, and practical communication tools to help you move away from power struggles and emotional blow-ups — and towards calmer, clearer, more respectful conversations.
This isn’t about “winning” arguments.
It’s about keeping the relationship safe while boundaries still exist.
 
What This Workbook Helps With
 
This workbook is especially helpful if you:
Feel like conversations turn into arguments quickly
Are met with silence, withdrawal, or one-word answers
Feel dismissed, challenged, or shut down
Worry about saying the “wrong thing”

Want to communicate without escalating conflict
If you’re trying to support a teenager while also holding boundaries, this workbook gives you a structured place to reflect and reset.
