A dialogue-centered guide to communicating with teenagers

Anthony Wolf draws on his work as a clinical psychologist for children and adolescents to address a familiar source of household friction: conversations between parents and teens. Organized around dialogue and practical guidance, the book focuses on the words adults use in difficult moments, identifying what to say—and what to avoid saying—when communication stalls. Its subject is not teenage behavior in the abstract but the everyday parent-teen exchange, with a humorous approach to the misunderstandings and frustrations that can arise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents seeking concrete language for conversations with teenagers
  • Caregivers navigating recurring communication conflicts at home
  • Adults interested in dialogue-based teen-parenting guidance
