[quote=Anonymous]As my kid enters upper elementary school, she confides in me less and less. I want to be someone she can always talk to, but if I state my opinion or ask any questions, she often shuts down, says, “I knew you’d say that,” or accuses me of lecturing her. If I just listen without questioning or stating my opinion, how do I impart my moral? For example, sometimes she’ll tell a story and I will wonder if she was being kind or if she misinterpreted a comment. If I ask for clarification she gets annoyed. But if I don’t, I miss an opportunity to get her to think more deeply about her values. Thoughts? [/quote]
