[quote=Anonymous]OP, you should probably read Faber and Mazlisch's book, How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk. On that note, often with teenagers, the best defense is a good offense. The more challenged they feel about their own life, achievements, morals, priorities, whatever - the more they will try to push those questions right back onto the person challenging them (that was you). It is important that you do not take the bait, otherwise you will feed into the cycle and the conversation will escalate. Volunteering isn't a magic bullet. You would need to choose carefully how to do that. Did you tell us how your DS speaks to your DH, and how your DH reacted to what DS said to you?[/quote]
