[quote=Anonymous]Part of the job of a teenager is to start developing themselves outside of the home. In a healthy scenario, home/family is the nest and they explore from there. I make sure we connect as a family by doing family dinners as often as possible, getting away for a weekend here and there, celebrating milestones/holidays together, showing up at sporting events, etc. We only have sons so I do get jealous of the mother/daughter relationships I see sometimes and how close they appear. But if your child is exploring their world they are doing the right developmental task and getting ready to launch. Social anxiety is a burden on a kid and not something to be envious of. [/quote]
