Publisher's Synopsis
ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO TALK TO YOUR TEEN?
First, let's be real... Who isn't?!
When parenting teens, getting the Social Media Addicted Teenager in your life to actually have a conversation with you can seem more like an invitation for heavy eye-rolling. You may be feeling like your teen is fast-forwarding to the end of every conversation while silently scrolling through the latest trendy app. They then only emerge from the dark cave, known as their bedroom, to stock up on snacks and get a quick dose of sunlight. The average teenager sends over 100 texts per day and is statistically more likely to communicate with their friends via some form of messaging like snaps or DM's versus calling them or speaking to them in person.
