How to Communicate With Your Teenager
Apr 26, 2006, 22:24
I clearly remember when my eldest son hit double figures and almost overnight metamorphosed into a sweet, polite young lad into this grumpy specimen of a "tweenager", who could only scowl at me, communicate in a series of snorts and grunts and insist that I walk at least ten yards behind him. My younger son, who is 14, is certainly a lot more vocal, with a tendency to chat back and contradict everything that I say, but hygiene has been an alien concept to both of my sons and is something that they believe is a term reserved for greeting a female friend of mine...
