[quote=Anonymous]Look at the parent forum for tweens and teens, search for threads on getting the kids to talk, there are some great suggestions. For a kid who has had 5 au pairs in 4 years... It's going to take a while to know whether you're going to stay or not. She may not open up to you for months. That's just the way it is. One of the best things to get tween and teen girls talking, ime, is to talk to them. Don't ask questions. Just start talking in the car about the volunteering you're doing this weekend with the cat rescue/adoption. Or talk about a show that you watch. Or talk about a nifty store you just found. Honestly, it doesn't even matter whether she'll be interested (as long as she doesn't hate the topic), because the point is to tell her about *you* not ask about her. Let her get to know you and don't pressure her to open up. Whatever you do, never ask a tween or teen a bunch of pointed questions as soon as they get home from school.[/quote]
