My teen won’t talk
October 10, 2008 | Family: Nurturing Family
I found something by you on the web when I googled “my teen won’t talk to me”. Which of your resources is best suited to help me start over with my teen with communication. I’m heartbroken and know that this isn’t something I can fix. I need God to build it this time and I just don’t know if/how to begin. Vickie
Dear Vickie,
You can begin. It’s never too late, Vickie. I talked with hundreds of teens to write the book, Real Issues, Real Teens: What Every Parent Needs to Know (David C. Cook, 2004). Teens shared that they wanted a relationship with their parents, even if it was broken and even if they weren’t telling their parents that they loved them or needed them.
In the book, you’ll find five things that get in the way of communicating with our teens, and help on how to listen, how to reconnect when communication has completely broken down, how to help your teen in their faith, and what the word “family” means to this generation, and much more.
I think it’s a great resource for you and I pray you will follow up once you read it. I’d love to stay in touch.
You can order it through paypal (my ID is tseller@daretobelieve.org) for $14 including shipping or send me a check (e-mail me for address).
