Your teenager already argues. The only question is whether anyone is coaching the skill.
Between fifteen and eighteen, everything converges: essays that count, applications that probe how your teen thinks, and strong opinions arriving at your table nightly. Most parents either argue back too hard or go quiet. Neither coaches anything. And the books on the shelf don't help: the critical thinking guides stop at middle school, the rhetoric bestsellers teach winning instead of thinking, and the argument handbooks are too basic for older students.
This book takes a different approach. Each chapter first refreshes one big idea for you, in plain words, in about ten minutes: claims and evidence, the hidden assumptions under every family fight, the three great lenses of moral philosophy, the ideas behind justice, liberty, rights, and free speech. Then it hands you the exact conversation to run: the opener, the moves, the traps to skip, and the sixty-second debrief that turns dinner-table talk into essay-ready thinking. It never reads like a textbook, and you never need to win a single debate.
