Real Talk Hearts & Home – Free Mini Guide for Parents of Teen Guys (PDF)
Simple ways to care for the heart of a teen guy—without lectures or pressure.
Real Talk Hearts & Home is a gentle, honest mini guide for parents and mentors of teen guys who feel unsure how to reach their hearts.
If your son has gone quiet, if you’re tired of one-word answers and awkward attempts at “deep talks,” this PDF is designed for you. It won’t give you a script to fix him. Instead, it offers a handful of small, realistic ways to show up for the teen guy you love—right where you are.
Inside, you’ll find:
Four simple “Hearts & Home” practices you can try in real life:
Quiet car moments, one honest question, safe places to feel, and naming the good you see.
Tiny, do-able action steps for each practice, designed for busy, tired parents.
Conversation starters you can actually use with a teen guy—no cheesy icebreakers.
Reflection prompts for you as a parent or mentor, to help you move from pressure to presence.
A gentle reminder that God is not asking you to create a perfect teenager—He’s inviting you to walk with the one you have.
This mini guide is part of the Real Talk Series and pairs naturally with:
Real Talk: Becoming Who God Made You to Be (Student Book for teen guys)
Real Talk Workbook (Companion for teen guys)
