ABOUT THE BOOK
Not Today, Frank is a no-BS guide for teens navigating the rollercoaster of adolescence . Written with humour, heart, and hard-earned wisdom, this book delivers practical advice on handling everything from insecurities to anger, messy friendships, and the chaos of growing up.
"What a treasure trove! I wish I had this book when I was struggling with my son’s teenage years!"
—Erin Scullion; Parent and Author of three books
Why"Not Today, Frank" is the book every teen NEEDS...
1) Life Skills
2) Emotional Regulation
3) Coping & Communication Strategies
After hundreds of in-home visits as an addiction counsellor and coach, we've identified key areas that dramatically impact a teens ability to "choose healthier routes" —and compiled then into an easy-to-read book you can give your teen to help them navigate life's challenges with greater resiliency!
...and PARENTS are RAVING about "how much it's actually helping!"
Thanks to you, your teen already has (almost) everything they need to face life "head-on", but what they're missing is real-world strategies to help them handle the more "difficult stuff" that can springboard them into crisis or resiliency...
Not Today Frank equips them with real-life skills to break through barriers and grow into someone who’s capable and ready for anything life throws their way.
What's holding your teen back? Big emotions? Feeling out of place? Struggling to take charge of their life? This book is packed with no-nonsense advice to help your teen build confidence, resilience, and the strength to face life head-on—no excuses, no shortcuts, just real growth.
The best part? There’s no “right” way to read it. Your teen can jump straight to the chapters that matter most—whether it’s managing anxiety, dealing with anger, feeling left out of friends, or finding their confidence—and take away practical tips they can use right away. Not Today Frank is their go-to guide for turning tough moments into powerful growth.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
"Growing up, I didn’t have the tools to handle life’s challenges. My journey wasn’t linear, and I had to learn the hard way—but those struggles taught me the power of growth. I wrote Not Today, Frank because I wish I’d had a guide like this as a teen... practical, real strategies that actually work.
Teens aren’t lazy or unmotivated; they need direction and a spark to reignite their confidence. The pandemic and a lack of emotional education in schools have left many teens struggling to manage big emotions and rebuild their social skills. This book gives teens the tools they can use RIGHT NOW, one step at a time".
"If you’re looking for better ways to help support your teen during some of life's most difficult years, this book is exactly what they need"
