Every parent of a teenager knows the silence: the one-word answers, the closed door. Can We Talk About This? is for parents stuck in that gap. Drawing on years of clinical work with families, it shows that the teen who seems to be rejecting you is often the one who needs you most, just in a language you haven’t learned to read yet. Not scripts or quick fixes, but a grounded, practical guide to staying in the room when conversations get hard, listening so your teen actually talks, and rebuilding connection without forcing it.
