When your teenager stops talking, it's not just a phase—it's a signal they need you more than ever.
But right now, every attempt to connect feels like it pushes them further away.
I'm Jeanine—Stanford graduate, certified coach, and mother who's walked this exact path. I help parents decode what's really happening behind those closed doors, so you can stop walking on eggshells and become the person your teen naturally turns to, in both their struggles and successes.

Right now, you might be lying awake at night feeling...
Heartbroken, as every attempt at conversation seems to push them further away. The silence at dinner, the closed doors, the heavy sighs—each one feels like another brick in an invisible wall.
Worried sick, watching them retreat into their own world. You can sense they're struggling with something, but they won't let you in. The distance between you grows with each passing day.
Frustrated and defeated, wondering if you've somehow lost your ability to reach them. The one-word answers and eye rolls make you question every approach you try.
Here's what I want you to understand:
Your teenager isn't pulling away because they don't need you—they're pulling away because they need you differently. They're not looking for a perfect parent. They're looking for someone who really gets them—and with the right approach, that person will be you.
Remember this: Behind every eye roll and slammed door is a teenager trying to communicate something they don't yet have the words for. They're not rejecting you—they're signaling they need a different kind of connection.

Become Their Trusted Safe Harbor
When I stopped parenting from panic and started parenting from presence, everything shifted with my own teenagers. The same transformation is possible for you.
From Resistance to Deep Trust
Picture this: Your teenager walks into your room late one night, sits on your bed, and begins sharing what's really on their mind. No prompting needed—they choose you as their confidante because they know they'll find understanding instead of judgment.
From Power Struggles to Peaceful Solutions
Watch as heated arguments transform into productive conversations. Those explosive moments over screen time, chores, or grades become opportunities for understanding instead of battlegrounds. You'll learn exactly how to de-escalate conflicts before they begin and guide discussions toward solutions that work for both of you.
"I was that dad whose frustration would boil over at every eye roll, every slammed door, every disappointing grade. The dreams I had for him seemed to be slipping away, and I couldn't stop myself from showing my disappointment—even though I could see it pushing him further away. Working with Jeanine helped me understand what was really driving my son's behavior (and my reactions). Now, instead of erupting when he tests boundaries, I know how to stay calm and actually get through to him. Last night, he came to me about a challenge he's facing with his grades, and we had the kind of conversation I'd given up hoping was possible."
—David R., father of a 16-year-old
From Tense Silence to Real Connection
Watch as eye rolls transform into eye contact. Those defensive crossed arms become relaxed shoulders. Your conversations shift from carefully-worded exchanges (no more walking on eggshells!) to genuine heart-to-heart talks where your guidance isn't just heard—it's sought after.
"Every night, I'd lie awake replaying our latest conflict, my heart aching as I watched my daughter slip further away. The sweet girl who once shared everything had become a stranger, responding to my questions with sharp words or silence. I felt like I was failing her, but trying harder only seemed to make things worse. Jeanine helped me see that my constant worrying and attempts to fix everything were actually pushing my daughter away. Learning to step back while staying connected felt terrifying at first, but Jeanine showed me exactly how to do it. This morning, my daughter came downstairs early just to have coffee with me. We talked and laughed like we used to, but in a new way that respects who she's becoming."
—Rachel M., mother of a 15-year-old

This Moment Matters More Than You Know
Remember when your teenager couldn't wait to share every detail of their day? When they'd climb into your lap with a book, or call for you to watch their latest achievement? That child hasn't disappeared. They're still there, wanting that connection as much as you do—they just need to be reached in a new way.

—Sarah P., mother of a 15-year-old
