Respond to Tween & Teen Backtalk Without Turning Every Conversation Into a Power Struggle

Back talk Without the Blowup

Learn a simple communication method to stay calm, hold your boundary, and protect your relationship even when your tween or teen talks back

You promised yourself you'd stay calm. Then they rolled their eyes... said "Stop being so naggy!"
... and suddenly you're caught in a power-struggle. Again.

It doesn't have to be this way.
I'll show you how to respond without losing your cool by using a communication framework that invites connection.

Inside you'll learn:

  • How to stop taking back talk so personally by understanding what's really happening beneath your tween or teen's behaviour.
  • The communication mistakes that accidentally make backtalk worse (even though you're trying your best).
  • My 3-step communication formula so you'll always know what to say while still holding a loving, confident boundary.
  • How to use the 10 Sanity-Saving Scripts naturally, so they sound like you instead of something memorised from a parenting book.

Introducing... Back talk Without the Blowup

A practical mini course that teaches you how to stop taking backtalk so personally by understanding what's really happening beneath your tween or teen's behaviour. Then I'll show you how to respond in a way that protects both your boundary and your relationship.

Inside, you'll discover the simple communication approach I teach parents every day to help them stay connected while still holding firm boundaries. Because your tween or teen doesn't need another lecture.

They need a parent who knows how to lead the conversation. No complicated parenting theories. No guilt. No "perfect parent" expectations. Just practical tools you can start using the very next time your tween or teen talks back.

This course is for you if...

  • You want to stop second-guessing yourself after every difficult conversation.  
  • You want to stay calm without letting your tween or teen walk all over you.  
  • You want to hold boundaries without every conversation becoming a debate.  
  • You want to raise a respectful tween or teen through connection and not fear, shame or endless power struggles.  
  • You want practical communication tools you can actually use in the moment—not vague parenting advice.  

  • If that's the kind of parent you want to become...  Backtalk Without the Blowup was created for you.

Hi, I'm Jaymie!

A parent coach, mum of two teen boys, and the founder of MyMumDiaries.

I know what it's like to replay a conversation and wish you'd handled it differently. As my children entered the tween and teen years and I began navigating perimenopause myself, I realised that staying calm during backtalk wasn't about finding the perfect consequence.

It was about learning a better way to communicate.  That's why I created Backtalk Without the Blowup.  In this course, I'll teach you the same Connect • Clarify • Coach communication method I use to help parents respond with confidence, hold loving boundaries, and stay connected to their tween or teen even in the hardest moments.  

Because you don't have to choose between being calm and being firm. You can be both.

Here's what parents say after working with me...

"My relationship with my daughter now is just how I imagined and wished I had with my mom. I wish more can experience this transformation too."

Cecille Cruz
Mom of a 7-year-old

"Her program not only provided practical tools but also fostered a deeper understanding of myself and my role as a parent which has been instrumental in guiding me towards a more loving and respectful relationship with my children."

Hoon Ting
Mom of two teens

Imagine if...

The next eye roll didn't ruin your day.  The next disagreement didn't end in another shouting match.  The next hard conversation left you feeling closer instead of guilty.  

Because backtalk is part of raising tweens and teens.  How you respond is what shapes the relationship.  

"When a teen barks back or tries to get the last word, it’s developmental, not personal. They are either fighting because they don't feel heard, or they are trying to figure out where they end and you begin."

Got any questions?

No. It's designed for parents of tweens and teens (roughly ages 9–18), when communication starts to shift and backtalk becomes more common.

Yes. The scripts tell you what you could say. This course teaches you how to respond, why those scripts work, and how to communicate confidently even when emotions are running high.

Then you're exactly who this course is for. This isn't about becoming a perfect parent. It's about learning a different way to respond—one conversation at a time.

You'll receive lifetime access, so you can revisit the lessons whenever you need them.
