[quote=Anonymous]When my 14yo DS gets like this, it's usually bc we haven't spent enough time together as a family. Between his sports, and DD's sports and music, and two jobs, sometimes the days fly by and it feels like we haven't seen each other. So we usually schedule some 'family-time.' That sometimes means letting the kids stay up later than normal on a school night to binge a show as a family, or a surprise ice cream sundae bar on a Wednesday, or a Sat night watching a movie that we would have never picked on our own, but a little togetherness sometimes shakes them out of their funk. This is, of course, assuming that there's not a more serious underlying mental health issues. But kids get burnt out and into routines just like adults. And sometimes at this age (tbh, especially at this age) time spent with mom under a blanket watching a movie is the more important that an early bedtime or extra music practice or whatever[/quote]
