Why don't they listen?

Is it getting harder and harder to relate to your teenager? Do they keep falling into the same destructive patterns? Is communication breaking down?

Perhaps your child's struggles are symptoms of a deeper issue. You'll never know-and never truly help-until you dissolve the barriers in your relationship and understand why traditional parenting approaches fail. In Who You Are Is How You Parent, Jivan Das shares a groundbreaking guide for improving your connection with your child. A clinical therapist and practicing monk, Jivan grew up a troubled teen. Now he's helping bridge the gap between parents and teens with compassionate wisdom and practical strategies. You'll learn how to create meaningful connections when your child pushes you away, implement boundaries that inspire rather than control, and transform power struggles into opportunities for healing.

Raising a confident child begins with understanding yourself. Are you ready to take the first step?
