This book is one I wish I had earlier. Having raised teenagers, I had to learn while doing and while making my way in the parenting jungle. This book has clarified a lot for me – things I did well and those I could have done better. These practical tips are clearly explained and really easy to follow.

I especially love the advice on self-care that the author provides in Chapter 4. She makes it so easy to do – having a quiet cup of tea, taking moments for a short walk, playing your favourite sport... So helpful!

If you are at your wit’s end where every conversation is turning into a battle, and you feel like you are losing your teen then this audiobook is for you! It will give you practical ways to actually connect with your teen, not just “manage” their behaviour. One small shift like really listening without jumping in to fix something can and will make a huge difference. Instead of shutting you out, your teen will start opening up. The section on handling conflict is an absolute lifesaver. It will help you stop reacting in ways that just make things worse. If you are struggling to communicate with your teen, this is well worth a listen. It’s clear, realistic, and actually helpful. You will wish you found it sooner!

As other reviewers have noted, there's not a lot that's ground breaking, but it's a good reminder of topics I'll want to talk about with my teens. It also gives some guidance on respecting their independence and how to approach some difficult conversations. It's also not too longwinded - I felt it went into the right level of detail on most topics and gives pointers on how to dig deeper if needed. Worth a listen.

When my son hit 14, it felt like an alien had replaced my child. Our conversations turned into arguments, and I was utterly lost. This audiobook became my secret weapon during my daily commute.
The section on active listening transformed our relationship within weeks. I stopped jumping to fix things and started hearing him. Last night, he sat down and talked about school troubles without me prying.
The self-care chapter was an unexpected bonus – I can't pour from an empty cup! It's worth every penny for the peace it's brought to our home.
