About this listen

Ready to crack the teenage boy mystery? Let’s start with what he really wishes you knew…

One day, your son is your little buddy, talking your ear off about everything. The next, it’s like living with a stranger who occasionally remembers who you are, if you're lucky.

But what looks like distance is really just him trying to figure out who he is and how to stand on his own. He still needs you more than ever… And no, it’s not always going to be obvious.

This is where the secrets come in—those little things your teen son wishes you knew but might never say.

This book is like your backstage pass to what’s going on inside his head—the things he’s not saying, the feelings he’s not showing, and the struggles he’s trying to navigate.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • How to find the sweet spot between giving them freedom and keeping them on track
  • How believing in your teen son can turn the tide from “whatever” to “I’ve got this” in no time
  • What it's really like for your son to juggle big emotions without a manual, and how you can help him have the courage to ask for help
  • The hidden power of peer influence—and why it’s not all bad
  • Why your teen might tune out when all they hear are rules, and not enough of how those rules actually work
  • The truth behind the "I don't care" face—spoiler: it's not really what it seems
  • What to do instead of a thousand “I’m proud of you” speeches
  • And much more!

With a little humor and a lot of heart, the insights here will help you navigate the wild ride of raising a teen boy, and maybe even share a laugh or two along the way!
