Your teen can work through it privately, at home, a page at a time.

How the boundaries for teens workbook builds confidence

It opens with a map of six parts of a teenager's world. After that, each area gets its own page, from friendships and home life to school, screens, personal space and energy, and every page includes realistic things to say.

Teens choose from quick refusals and message templates they can copy straight into a chat, settle on a way out before any pressure starts, and get ready for a calm chat with a parent on the family planner page. A page of trusted adults and a log for crossed boundaries make it easier to spot when something feels wrong and to reach out. Taken a page at a time, a big subject becomes small, doable steps.
