[quote=Anonymous]My adopted teen is "different" than us. She has different interests, different strengths, different weaknesses.... We try to celebrate those "differences." For example, she is really into a particular sport and the rest of us have learned about it. Based upon my experience, I would tell this teen to try to bring his family into some of interests. If they are not interested, maybe you could be the adult that talks to him about his particular interests or even goes a step further and helps him explore those interests and even "celebrate" those interests like "wow! you are very knowledgeable about that!"[/quote]
