When Your Teen Shuts You Out: Reconnecting With a Distant or Angry Teenager

You love your teenager, but lately it feels like you're living with a stranger who slams doors and speaks in grunts. The silence hurts, and the anger leaves you walking on eggshells. This book is not about fixing your teen or forcing a conversation. It's about understanding what's really going on beneath the surface—the brain rewiring, the social pressures, the need for independence that clashes with their still-developing emotional control. You'll learn how to stay calm when they push, how to listen without triggering a shutdown, and how to set boundaries that actually strengthen trust. With practical scripts, real-life examples, and a warm, non-judgmental approach, Eleanor Pryce Nash guides you through the messy middle of parenting a distant or angry teen. You'll come away with tools to rebuild connection—not by chasing them, but by creating a space where they feel safe enough to return. Part of The Everyday Parenting Library.
