Keep Talking: Conversations with Our Kids When They Want Us Least but Need Us Most by Jen Shoemaker Davidson is a candid, experience-driven book about staying connected to teenagers through intentional conversation, trust-building, and consistent presence, even when communication feels hardest.
ORANGE COUNTY, Calif. - illiNews -- Sole Publishing announces the release of Keep Talking: Conversations with Our Kids When They Want Us Least but Need Us Most, by debut author Jen Shoemaker Davidson, a mother and advocate for honest parent-teen communication.
When the teenage years arrive, many parents find themselves feeling shut out by slammed doors, shrugged shoulders, and silence, often assuming this disconnection is inevitable. In Keep Talking, Jen Shoemaker Davidson challenges that assumption, offering a grounded, experience-based approach to maintaining meaningful connection during one of the most challenging stages of parenting.
In this timely and deeply personal work, Davidson explores why modern parenting often breaks down during adolescence, not because parents stop caring, but because fear, discomfort, and uncertainty replace honest communication.

"The way we raise our kids, what we prioritize, and the lessons we pass down are not set in stone," says Davidson. "We have the power to choose."
Drawing from her lived experience raising two teenagers and emerging with adult children who still choose connection, Keep Talking blends personal storytelling with practical insight to show how consistent presence and intentional conversation can reshape family relationships.
Keep Talking is a must-read for parents of tweens and teens, educators, youth counselors, and anyone invested in helping young people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Keep Talking is not just another parenting book about surviving the teen years. It introduces Davidson's signature practice, Life Lesson Lunches, intentional, one-on-one conversations she held with her children throughout adolescence.
Built on four foundational pillars, connection, encouragement, wisdom, and understanding, Keep Talking serves as both a reflection and a guide for parents navigating the tension between holding on and letting go.
Already recognized as a BookLife Editor's Pick and featured in Publishers Weekly, Keep Talking has resonated with readers seeking a more honest, human-centered approach to parenting.
