For Parents of Teens: The Partnership Workbook
A Workbook for Couples Who Want to Survive Adolescence Without Losing Each Other
Your teenager is testing every limit. Your partnership is one of them.
For the couple raising a teenager whose adolescence has turned the partnership into a negotiation — who want unified parenting rules and a relationship that survives the stress.
The Name It First Experience
Adolescence puts pressure on every part of a family — but the part that breaks first is usually the couple. The disagreements about curfews, the teenager who plays one parent against the other, the slow reduction of a relationship to logistics. This workbook walks both partners through a structured process: name your strengths, surface the scripts you each carried in, and build The Unified Parenting Agreement — a signed document governing how you handle the hardest years together.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does this partnership get right with your teenager — the specific things you and your partner have figured out together that actually work?
- What does parenting a teenager reveal about this partnership that would not have come up otherwise — the pressure point or the strength that adolescence exposed?
- What would The Co-Parenting Charter for Adolescence say — clearly and between the two of you — about how you are going to navigate this period without losing each other?
