Does Your Teen Talk? No, but They Text, Snap, & Tik Tok

10 Subjects Every Parent Should Ask Their Teen to Get Them Talking More in a Digital World

By: Nicole Rice

Narrated by: Kelsea Horne

Are you struggling to talk to your teen?

First, let’s be real.... Who isn’t?

Getting the social-media-addicted teenager in your life to actually have a conversation with you can seem more like an invitation for heavy eye-rolling. You may be feeling like your teen is fast-forwarding to the end of every conversation while silently scrolling through the latest trendy app. They then only emerge from the dark cave known as their bedroom to stock up on snacks and get a quick dose of sunlight. The average teenager sends more than 100 texts per day and is statistically more likely to communicate with their friends via some form of messaging like snaps or DMs versus calling them or speaking to them in person.

You don’t have to dream of a better relationship with your teen

By the time you are done listening to this audiobook, desire for an active relationship with the teenager in your life can stretch beyond the one hug a year you get from your teen at Christmas time after they receive their presents. With Nicole Rice’s book Does Your Teen Talk? No, but They Text, Snap, & Tik Tok, she wants to help you achieve what to say and what not to say so your teen will talk more; what to do so you spend more and more good times with your teen; and how to talk less and listen more so you are a major difference in your teen’s life. When they start talking more and showing you their astonishing self, be prepared to be blown away!

Understand the coded language of teens

As a certified high school teacher, Nicole has a unique insight into the teenager's way of thinking.
