[quote=Anonymous]OP here. The tricks I try with mixed success are telling him something strange about my day or anything funny I can think of (he does like listening to stories about our days and sometimes it prompts him to talk) and laying down with him at night after books - that is definitely when he's most chatty. The no pressure questions like above only work to an extent. I get home after him so he's unwound for a bit beforehand and we're low-key about it. I get that it's natural at this age to pull away but still want to try my best to foster our relationship. [/quote]
