Parenting Practice

For parents of teens 11–17

Can we talk about last night?

Your teen

Oh my god. Just leave me alone.
SLAM.

Practice first. Then talk for real.

  1. Step 1: Rehearse

    Say it out loud to an AI version of your teen.

  2. Step 2: Talk

    Have the real conversation.

  3. Step 3: Tell us

    Where did they shut down or snap?

  4. Step 4: Try next

    Get new words for next time.

Then again, before the next talk

  • Calmer
  • Steadier
  • Softer

Your next hard talk is coming. Rehearse it first.
