Struggling to Connect with Your Teen?
🕵️ Do conversations feel like an interrogation?
🙄 Are you getting grunts, eye rolls, or complete silence?
🚪 Does your teen shut down or walk away when you try to talk?
It doesn’t have to be this way.
The LoVE Method for talking to teens is a simple, effective way to communicate that will remove communication barriers and build trust—without forcing awkward talks.
Use The LoVE Method To
Get Your Teen Talking Tonight.
Step 1: Listen with an Open Heart
📵 Put away distractions – no phone, no TV.
👀 Pay attention to their body language, tone, and emotions.
🤐 Resist the urge to interrupt or give advice.
✔ Do this instead: Sit with them, listen, and let them lead the conversation. Have advice? Ask permission first.
Hear What They’re Saying
(and What They’re Not)
Step 2: Validate
❌ Don’t say: “That’s ridiculous.”
✅ Try this instead: “That sounds really frustrating.”
Validation isn’t about agreeing—it’s about letting them know their feelings matter. When teens feel heard, they’re more likely to open up.
Acknowledge—Even If
You Don’t Agree
Step 3: Explore
🚫 Avoid: "Did you have a good day?" (One-word answer incoming!)
💡 Try: "What was the most interesting thing that happened today?"
🔍 Open-ended questions help you get to the real conversation.

Case Study: From Chaos to Cooperation - A Blended Family's Transformation
When Mark and Tammy reached out, their home was in turmoil.
Their teenage son was skipping school, racking up unpaid parking tickets, ignoring curfews, and throwing hours-long tantrums when things didn’t go his way.
But the stress didn’t stop there—their marriage was also suffering. They felt like they were on opposite sides, constantly arguing about how to handle their son’s behavior.
They joined my 6-month coaching program, and within five months, everything changed:
✅ Less stress, stronger marriage—they’re now on the same page with parenting and supporting each other.
✅ Improved communication—no more fighting over how to enforce rules.
✅ School attendance on track—their son arrives on time and understands expectations.
✅ Clear rules, limits, and boundaries—no more confusion or endless negotiations.
✅ Consistent accountability—parents follow through, even when it’s tough.
✅ Money management skills—their son earns an allowance and is responsible for expenses.
✅ Respect for driving privileges—on track to earning full car access by year-end.
To ensure success, I collaborated with the parents' couples therapist and the teen’s life coach so we could all work together for the entire family.
While their son isn’t perfect (who is?), this family now has peace, clarity, and confidence in their parenting—and in their marriage.
