Talk to Your Teen Without Fighting: 5 Hard Conversations, Solved
Your child grew up between two worlds: the one at home and the one at school, on social media, and with friends in the United States. That clash isn't bad parenting, it's a real difference in context. This guide has scripts for five conversations: social media, going out, grades, bicultural identity, and tone.
When you finish it, you'll be able to:
- Reach social media agreements that last
- Negotiate going out and curfews
- Talk about grades without humiliating
- Write a family agreement negotiated with your teen
It's for you if:
- You're an immigrant parent with a teenager
- Conversations end in yelling or silence
- You feel like your teen lives in another world
