My Tween is Pulling Away. Is That Normal?

单集文稿 ...

  What do you do when your kid is getting older and no longer wants to talk to you?

• 00:07

  Where you start to wonder, is this just normal tween behavior?

• 00:12

  Or is there something concerning happening that I should be more on top of?

• 00:17

  Today I'm talking to a mom who is very open about the struggle she's going through with her son.

• 00:23

  Her son has always been quiet,

• 00:25

  but he seems to have gotten more quiet and she's not sure whether she should let this stage be.

• 00:31

  or intervene.

• 00:36

  So, my older son is 11 and a half.

• 00:41

  Over the past, I'd say year or so, he's just been getting more sort of quiet.

• 00:47

  And I have been looking for resources to help me figure out whether or not this is normal quiet.

• 00:55

  And so,

• 00:57

  I keep wishing someone could look inside our home and tell me that's not normal or that's normal

• 01:04

  because,

• 01:05

  you know, as a mom, you're the only one who sees your kid all day, every day.

• 01:12

  Sorry, I'm getting a little emotional.

• 01:15

  So, yeah, just trying to figure out if he's okay, really, whether he is or isn't.

• 01:22

  Figure out next steps and...

• 01:25

  what I should be doing for him.

• 01:28

  So thank you for articulating that so clearly, so poignantly.

• 01:33

  I mean that.
