What Teens Need But Can't Quite Say provides a contemporary perspective on improving communication and interaction with teenagers. It uses the teen’s point of view as a reflective guide for parents and teachers to understand various issues that shape the lives of adolescents today. The book proposes '6 Tunes' with concrete action items to help resonate with teenagers.

The book also offers a reflective self-assessment too called 'SCALE' which is built around five essential criteria (Setting the Stage; Communication; Awareness; Love and Emotional Strength) to help parents and teachers shape their interaction with teenagers. It also presents expert articles on topics such as realising potential; developing success skills; becoming an effective teacher; managing western influences; and using experiential education.
