Help! My Child Went Into Silent Mode: How to Navigate Adolescence When communication Changes

There was a time when getting an answer seemed easier. Then adolescence arrived. And somehow, conversations became shorter, doors stayed closed a little longer, and getting more than a few words sometimes started to feel like an achievement. Nothing happened overnight. There was no announcement. No one came into the kitchen and said, "Just so you know, things are going to be different around here." They simply were. And there you are, on the other side of a conversation that apparently ended before it even began. Welcome to silent mode. Help! My Child Went Into Silent Mode was born in that very familiar place, somewhere between the questions we ask, the answers we sometimes get, and all those everyday moments when communication no longer works quite the way it used to. If that sounds even slightly familiar, this book was written with homes like yours in mind. Because adolescence doesn't only happen to teenagers. It happens at home.
