Leanne has a real gift for taking research on memory, play-based learning, and early language development and making it practical, friendly, and doable for busy families. Each book combines evidence-based ideas with activities, templates, and printables that parents can use right away, without special equipment or expertise. Her tone is encouraging and never preachy. She reminds parents that small, everyday moments of connection matter most, and she handles screen time, AI safety, and developmental concerns responsibly. Leanne handles specialised topics such as bilingual development and early signs of autism with accuracy and sensitivity, always grounding her advice in established research and encouraging parents to seek professional guidance where needed. For any parent who wants to support their child's learning with confidence, Leanne's guides are a valuable and reassuring resource.

Description
Does every question get a shrug?
“How was school?” “Fine.” Door closes. If talking to your teenager feels like walking through a minefield, you’re not alone, and you haven’t done anything wrong. Pulling away is a normal part of growing up. Losing your connection isn’t.
The 7-Day Parent–Teen Reset shows you how to talk to your teenager so they actually want to talk back. It isn’t a 300-page parenting book. It’s one small, practical shift a day for a week, each with scripts you can use tonight.
How to talk to your teenager, one day at a time
- Day 1: Listen without fixing. Why advice shuts teens down, and what to say instead.
- Day 2: Validate their feelings. The step most parents skip.
- Day 3: Share your struggles. How the right kind of honesty gets them sharing back.
- Day 4: Set boundaries with respect. Rules teens actually keep when you’re not watching.
- Day 5: Create a no-judgment zone. Make telling you the truth safer than hiding it.
- Day 6: Celebrate small wins. Why “you tried so hard!” can backfire with teens.
- Day 7: Keep the conversation going. Why the car is the best place to talk.
Every day includes “Instead of… / Try…” scripts, common mistakes, a “What the research says” summary and a 10-minute action.
Bonus: Tough Topics Playbook
How to start (and keep going) on the conversations that matter most: mental health, alcohol and vaping, sex and relationships, and online safety. No scare tactics, no awkward one-off “big talk”.
