[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my kids doesn't like texting or talking on the phone. He'll do it of course but just isn't a priority. He has tons of unanswered group texts from friends so it's not just a parent-kid thing. We've had a lot of talks about how text is an important communication tool and it's rude not to answer. I was never a big phone person so understand to a point, but texting is so easy. I think I'll never hear from him once he's in college. How did you maintain your relationship if you had a non-communicator? Thanks[/quote]

A lot of parents expect their kids to fulfill their need for communications when in the last 3 to 5yrs made no effort to communicate in kids terms.
Parents need to learn what their kids like and dont like and get involved early. Dont wait until they are seniors and freak out about it. 
Download snap and use it with them. This is their number one app for communication. Go head and use instagram to send and receive stupid videos that your kids are sending. Comment on them. Don’t bury your head in the sand and pretend they will want to use Text messages to call mom…..
