One suggestion before you read it:
Do not try to use all five at once. Choose the sentence that makes you pause. That may be the one worth beginning with.
I invite you to use it three times this week, even if it feels a little unfamiliar at first.
Then notice what happens afterwards. Not only what your teenager says, but whether anything shifts in their tone,

their body language or the space between you.
Small changes often begin in moments like these.
I’m glad you’re here.

Warmly,
Egli
