10 Things Your PDA Teen Wishes You Knew
The down-to-earth, deeply validating guide for parenting a PDA teen when nothing about parenting feels easy anymore.

Are you parenting a teenager with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)?
Do you feel like everything you try - rewards, consequences, even love itself - gets rejected, misunderstood, or spirals into meltdown?
You're not alone. And you're not failing.

This book is the lifeline you've been searching for.
Written with warmth, clarity, and just the right amount of humour, 10 Things Your PDA Teen Wishes You Knew gives you a window into what's really going on inside your teen's world and what they wish you understood.

You'll learn:

• Why "can't" often shows up as "won't"

• How to reduce anxiety and defuse power struggles without giving up boundaries

• The difference between meltdowns, shutdowns, and intentional behaviour

• What motivates PDA teens (spoiler: it's not sticker charts)

• How to support autonomy and executive function without making everything a battle

• How to stay regulated when your teen feels everything including your mood

• Why traditional parenting advice doesn't work and what does

This isn't a textbook. It's not filled with jargon or judgement. It's a practical, compassionate roadmap for parenting with more insight, less fear, and a lot more connection.

If your teen avoids demands, craves control, feels everything deeply, and often leaves you feeling helpless or heartbroken... this book will help you understand why.

More than that - it will help you stay connected, even when things are hard.

Perfect for parents, carers, and professionals supporting PDA teens, this book is filled with real-life tools, honest reflections, and deeply hopeful insights.

You don't need to fix your teen. You just need to understand them and stand beside them.
This book will show you how.
