“Alex, I'm shocked that one conversation made such a difference. I still have to remind him sometimes, but he's way less defensive now.”
Emma, mom of a 14 year old

Start with the problem that keeps repeating.

Whether it's the same argument, the phone, or a son who's stopped talking, the pattern doesn't change by trying harder in the moment. It changes when the two of you settle it once, instead of starting from scratch every night.

Founder of The Son Translator

My background is in Child & Family Studies, and I created The Son Translator to help moms see the interaction from their son's side so they can choose approaches that create more cooperation, better communication, and less friction at home.

I was that son, too. A lot of this work comes from looking back at what helped me open up, cooperate, and feel understood growing up, combined with what I've learned through my education, career, and years of studying how people communicate and respond to one another.
