Parents & Teenagers
Parents & Teenagers, created by The School of Life, is a pack of 52 cards that offer parents and their teenage children a rare chance to go beyond the usual exchanges and rediscover one another. Creating understanding and sympathy between generations.
Few teenagers want to talk to their parents that much. The reasons are many and often sensible; yet for parents, the silence can feel painful and mysterious. What might teenagers truly want to tell their parents? And what might parents want to tell their children in return? This pack contains questions that are playful and interesting, yet carefully designed to pierce through armor.

Alain de Botton founded The School of Life in 2008. His aim was to make philosophy — long seen as the inaccessible, inauthentic stuff of academies and archives — a functional aspect of modern life. The care with which ancient philosophers thought about their lives remains a valuable antidote to the generalised anxiety of our era.
The school thus posits that ideas of Plato, Aristotle and the Stoics are as relevant to us today as they were in ancient Greece. Even if Epicurus never had social media burnout, understanding his thinking can lead us to a healthier relationship with , for example, our phones — and by extension, with one another.
We began stocking The School of Life’s series on work, gratitude and pleasure as a way of thinking through modern day issues. We admire their series for the capacity to stimulate reflection, and their ability to give a new perspective on age old problems. At its core, it is a set of strategies for finding meaning in the modern world — so that we can appreciate small pleasures and the things that might go unnoticed.
