Spark easy, relaxed conversations
with your teen about Phones!
With Teen Chat Cards
Turn teenage phone advice into meaningful, open conversations—
without the eye rolls or one-word answers.
Watching your teen navigate their phone and everything that comes with it can leave you on edge
It’s completely normal to feel a mix of worry, frustration, and uncertainty as your teen navigates their phone.
There are so many things to think about…
Phone addiction – Phones can be entertaining and even useful, but you also see how quickly they can take over. The last thing you want is your teen constantly distracted, disconnected, or unable to put it down.
The Hardest Part?
Talking To Them About It
Ultimately, you just want to know they are okay…
…but their sarcastic “Oh wow, thanks Mom” isn’t encouraging.
…but you also don’t want them to ignore the risks.
…but they just roll their eyes and sigh loudly.
…but they crave independence.
…but they just scroll through TikTok as you talk.
…but their sarcastic “Oh wow, thanks Mom” isn’t encouraging.
- Maybe I'm just not the kind of mom they need
- I can't fix this and that terrifies me
- Why do I always say the wrong thing?
You're Not Alone!
Your teen definitely needs YOU
We can fix this together
And I've got a script for what to say:
Kristen’s Chat Cards are incredible conversation starters. The way she presents scenarios with open-ended answers allows parents and teens to approach difficult topics in a way that isn’t intimidating or forced. You will love these cards!

Picture This:
- You’re sitting across from your teen at the kitchen table, both of you half-distracted by your phones. Instead of competing with the screen, you pull out a card and ask a question. They pause. Look up. Think. A small smile shows up before they answer. Just like that, you’ve got their attention.
- Dinner is winding down, and everyone starts reaching for their devices. Instead, you grab a card and read a question out loud. Your teen rolls their eyes. “Seriously?” But then they answer. One comment turns into a conversation, and suddenly no one’s on their phone. The whole family is talking, laughing, connecting.
- You’re sitting in the car, your teen scrolling in the passenger seat. You ask, “What do you think makes someone addicted to their phone?” They shrug at first. Then they start talking. About their friends. About pressure. About things you didn’t even know were on their radar. An ordinary moment turns into real insight and guidance they’ll actually hear.
- It’s late at night, and your teen comes into your room with their phone in hand. They don’t say much, but you can tell something’s off. You ask a simple question from a card. They open up. What follows is honest, real, and deeper than anything you’d get from “How was your day?” These are the conversations that build trust.

Got Questions?
How do I use Chat Cards?
Each card has two sides:
1) A Scenario that your teen will likely face at some point. Share the scenario with your teen and ask them what ideas they have for resolving the situation. Validate their ideas and praise their effort. LISTEN. (Don’t share your thoughts yet).
2) A “Let’s Chat” prompt that will help you chat with your teen about that scenario and consider various responses. Flip the card over and consider the idea on the back together. Is it helpful? Would it work? Why or why not? Can you improve on it? Then you can share your perspective.
Who are the Chat Cards for?
These cards can be used by families, teachers, and especially teens (and even tweens) on their own to understand difficult situations, develop new skills, and become more confident in using their phones for good. Use them to discuss a variety of potential scenarios and learn together.
