Five words that stopped us in our tracks when we read them in the manuscript.

Correction without connection creates conflict.

How many arguments with our teens start with us trying to correct or teach something — a behavior, a choice, a tone — before we've actually connected with them first?

The correction might be completely valid. But without connection even if you say all the right words, it can land as an attack. And they defend or withdraw. And it escalates. And suddenly we're in a fight about something when all we were doing was trying to help.

Connection first. Always first. Listen, take their feelings seriously.
This is the heartbeat of Raising Teens Who Talk to You — and one of dozens of ideas in the book that will quietly shift the way you show up with your teen.
