Trying to have a conversation with your teenager? You ask how their day was and get “fine.” You ask who was at the party and get “no one.” You ask what they’re doing and get “nothing.” Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m sharing three powerful soundtracks from our Parents and Teens card deck that will help you start real conversations with your teenager. These aren’t hypothetical parenting tips. I raised two teenagers, and these are straight from my own dinner table. You’ll discover why “if you wouldn’t say it to a friend, don’t say it to yourself” teaches self awareness, how “this is my first time too” opens up vulnerability and deeper connection, and why teenagers need to think of their parents as “investors in YOU Inc.” These conversation starters are natural, simple, and designed to help you move from quantity time to quality time. Because here’s the reality: you don’t get one deep conversation. You practice these cards over and over until card number seven or fourteen changes everything.
