[quote=Anonymous]My six year old just doesn't talk much. We're very close, we do activities together (garden, soccer, bowling), we play board games and build things. But he isn't a talker. When he has school or a drop off activity, I can never get any information out of him about how it went. Asking open ended questions doesn't work (what was the funniest thing that happened today?"), hanging out and waiting for info doesn't work. He just doesn't want to share. Most of the time, if there's something bothering him it will come out at some point. But he's just so quiet! I come from a family of sharers. We like to talk everything though. I'm working to accept DS as he is, and not pressure him. BUT if your son is similar, is there anything you'd recommend I do now to help later? I am bothered by how little I know about his day to day activities, and he's only 6! And it's not like elementary school teachers are very forthcoming. [/quote]
