Their agreeable little girl who once had the voice of Tinker Bell has turned into a yammering teenage know it all, and their sweet little boy who used to love singing "the wheels on the bus go round and round" now walks around the house grunting like a caveman.

The problem is that many parents today are either too strident or too generous in their communication strategies, leading to a loss of rapport and trust between parents and teens. Teen Talk gives parents honest straight-talk about their communication missteps and provides parents with the right communication strategies that will help them build rapport and trust with their teens. Through the stories of other parents who struggle and fumble their way through and those who get it right, readers will recognize their own challenges and successes, while learning Dr. Donna's foundational principles and practical strategies for building rapport and trust with teenagers.
