“My kids don’t talk to me!”
Hey there,
As kids get older, parents say that
a LOT. “My kids won’t talk to
me…” or “My kids won’t open up to
me…” or something similar.
The worst part is, the harder you
try, the more they seem to close
up! It’s such a catch-22.
Or is it?
Here are a few tips that just might
get your kid to open up to you:
=======
Let’em be.
=======
Just accept that they’re
in a phase where, for whatever
reason, they feel like they can’t
open up to you.
If you give them respectful space,
and don’t pry into their lives, most
of the time they’ll come around to
you.
=======
Something more serious
=======
Is there something more serious
going on? Are there other troubles
at school or at home?
Spousal fighting, financial trouble
and other things have a bigger
impact on kids than a lot of people
realize.
Sometimes these make kids
close up.
=======
Teenagers…
=======
If your kid’s a teenager – just
surrender LOL. They’ll grow out of
it 😉
Having a teen is a form of
warfare 🙂
Till next time!
