[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your mom want to talk to him, she can say: Hi, Honey, it’s great to see you. Where should we stop: Starbucks, McDonalds, Panera, or Chipotle? Are you sure that’s all you want to eat? Do you want to play DJ on the drive over? Need anything else to eat now that you’re done with your session? She cannot say: How was your day? How was school? Do you have any tests coming up? Why are you so grumpy? Do you have all your work ready for your tutor to look at? What are you working on with her? How did your session go? What do you need to work on next? What is it about this subject that’s hard for you? Remind her that parenting a teen/preteen is like hunting big game: You lay out food and then sit quietly until they come to you. It’s all about minimal noise and slow, deliberate, unthreatening movements. [/quote] This. Let her treat him weekly on the way to his session with some takeout. What is his favorite radio station? Have her put that on and shut up.[/quote]
