RAISING HER CONFIDENTLY | Connecting with Teens, Parenting Styles, Family Communication, Raising Teen Daughters
Jeannie Baldomero | Parenting Teens Coach Inspired by Brene Brown, Mark Gregston, Gary Chapman
Do you want to have open communication with your teen daughter? Do you find yourself up late at night constantly thinking about how to talk to your teen or why she’s not opening up to you? Do you wake up with confident intentions only to feel confused and frustrated when you get 1-word answers from your daughter or instead of the deep conversations you hoped to have, you end up in a yelling match?
Hi, I’m Jeannie. I think back to when I was 13. I was that teenage girl you are googling about! Rebellious, hard to figure out, “hard-headed” as my mom would call me. She even said, “I don’t even know who you are anymore!”
Several years later, I too found myself raising young teens. I too felt grieved by the loss of my sweet talkative little girl! I wanted her to come to me about anything even if she was scared and listen to my advice.
My passion for healthy families as a former educator, a homeschooling family for several years, and a zeal to impact young teen girls has led me to train in the Coach Model and partner with moms like you and guide them to create safe, healthy relationships with their teens.
In this podcast, I share tools and resources to help improve communication with your teen girl and strengthen your relationship with her. I’m providing you ways to talk to your teen through relationship-building exercises to make intentional connections, establish boundaries to create that safe space, and build a trust-worthy community of healthy friends and influence to confidently get you through this season of raising a teen girl.
So grab that oat milk latte and let’s raise her confidently together!

275\\ 4 Tips on How to Communicate in the Same Language as Your Teen Girl
Raising a teen girl isn’t for the faint of heart. One minute you’re laughing together over iced coffee, and the next… she’s rolling her eyes, retreating to her room, or replying with a one-word sentence that somehow says everything and nothing at the same time.
Today’s episode is called “4 Tips on How to Communicate in the Same Language as Your Teen Girl.” But before we dive into those four tips, we need to talk about the why.

274\\ 3 Ways to Communicate Well With Your Teenage Daughter Without Yelling
We don’t want to yell at our daughters, but somehow, it feels like it’s the only way we’re heard. Maybe you grew up in a home where yelling was the main form of communication, so it feels normal. Or maybe your patience just feels worn thin, and before you know it, you’re raising your voice again.
But here’s the truth—while yelling may get an immediate reaction, it doesn’t get long-lasting results. In fact, it can create distance in your relationship with your teen. And I know that’s not what you want.
So, let’s unpack what could happen if you communicated without yelling, why it’s so important, and three practical ways to start shifting how you connect with your daughter today.

273\\ Is Your Teen Girl Quiet? 4 Tips to Communicate with Her So She'll Open Up
Today we’re talking about a special group of girls that many moms worry about—the shy and quiet ones. Maybe your daughter doesn’t give you attitude. She doesn’t talk back. She doesn’t cause big explosions in your house. On the outside, that can feel like a relief, right? But on the inside, you might be wondering, what’s going on in her heart and mind? Because while she may not be acting out, her silence can be just as hard to read as the loud, dramatic emotions of other teens.
And here’s the truth—sometimes rebellion doesn’t look like slamming doors, rolling eyes, or shouting “you don’t understand me!” Sometimes rebellion looks like sneaking, shutting you out, or keeping everything bottled up inside.
So if you’ve ever looked at your quiet, timid daughter and thought, She never tells me what she’s really thinking. I’m worried I don’t know what’s going on, this episode is for you.

269\\ Does Your Daughter Blame You for Everything? 1 Secret to Having Her Take Responsibility
Hey mom friends, welcome back to the podcast! If you’re here, I know you’re raising a tween or teen daughter who sometimes leaves you scratching your head, wondering… why on earth does she blame me for everything? From not being allowed to go to that sleepover, to not having the “right” shoes, or even her hair not doing what she wants it to do—somehow, mom is the scapegoat.
Today, we’re going to talk about why our daughters tend to pin it all on us, and I’ll give you one powerful secret that shifts the blame game into responsibility—establishing family core values.
Are you looking for a supportive mom community?
The common thing I ask the moms I work with to be most valuable is having a community with other moms who get it. Who are in the weeds too. Moms who are also in the season of raising tween & teen girls. We need each other to vent, laugh, encourage and support on another.
If that’s you too, I have a free mom community I invite you to be a part of. You can join going to www.raisingherconfidently.com
