[quote=Anonymous]It’s so hard when you have a clam for a kid. I’ve got 3 teens so I know how it feels. What I try to do is continue to be available, even when I feel dumb/hurt by them pushing me away. If I do get a tidbit of information I try to be totally chill about it, ask them what they think/how they feel/what they plan to do, before I add anything to the conversation. And if my other kids are in earshot I’m extra careful because they’re listening and watching me. I can’t react too much or lean in too much lest the kid shuts down or turns on me. It’s really hard sometimes. [/quote]
