Do you remember when your teenager used to tell you everything?

When they would walk through the door and find you first. When they would sit beside you without being asked. When they would laugh with you, share with you, and let you into their world without you having to fight for entry.

Something shifted. Maybe gradually, maybe suddenly. The conversations grew shorter. The door stays closed more than it used to. You ask "how was school?" and you get one word. You sense something is wrong but they will not tell you. You correct them and they shut down. You reach for them and they pull back.

And late at night, when the house is quiet, you search for answers — because you love this child more than words, and losing their closeness is one of the most quietly painful things a mother can experience.

You are not failing. You are not alone. And it is not too late.

Come Back to Me was written for exactly this moment.

It is a practical, honest, three-week guide written by a Nigerian mother, for Nigerian mothers — whether you are raising your teenager in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, London, Houston, or Toronto.

It does not ask you to abandon the values of respect and faith you were raised with. It does not hand you Western parenting advice that does not fit your reality. And it does not give you vague encouragement with no practical steps to follow.

What it gives you is a clear, doable path back — to real conversations, to your teenager's trust, to a relationship where respect and genuine closeness exist together, not in opposition.

Inside this guide, you will discover:

✅ Why your teenager is pulling away — and why it is rarely about you personally, even when it feels like it is

✅ The single question that replaces "how was school?" and actually opens a real conversation — try it today, before you finish reading

✅ How to correct your teenager's behaviour without pushing them further away — discipline that keeps both your authority and their heart intact

✅ What to say when they push back on your values, shut down mid-conversation, or walk away mid-sentence

✅ A simple weekly connection ritual that builds more trust than one big conversation ever could

✅ How to pray for your teenager specifically and pray with them naturally — even if they have grown resistant or distant from faith

✅ A practical section specifically for mothers raising Nigerian teenagers abroad — how to bridge two cultures without your child feeling they must choose between them

✅ A complete Self-Assessment to show you exactly where you are right now in your relationship with your teenager — and a personalised roadmap showing you how to use this guide based on your specific score

This is not a book about perfect parenting.

It is a book about present parenting. About showing up, reaching in, and refusing to let the silence become permanent.

The mothers who need this guide most are not the ones who stopped caring. They are the ones who care so deeply that the distance hurts every single day — and who are still searching, still trying, still reaching for their child's heart.

If that is you, this guide was written for you.

Your teenager has not gone too far. The bridge can still be built. Come back to each other.
