Episode 3-When Your Child Stops Talking To You

Middle schoolers don't stop talking because they don't love you anymore. They stop talking because they're changing.
In this episode, I talk about why asking more questions often leads to shorter answers, and what to do instead. Through a simple story about shooting basketball with a teenager, you'll discover how shared experiences create the conversations parents are looking for.
You'll learn:
• Why "How was your day?" rarely works
• The power of side-by-side activities
• How to turn "I don't know" into real conversation
• Why your child's growing independence isn't rejection
• Simple ways to reconnect without pressure
If your once-chatty child has become a one-word-answer machine, this episode will give you practical strategies to strengthen your connection and create opportunities for meaningful conversations.
Your child isn't shutting you out. They're growing up. Here's how to stay connected along the way.
