I have two sons, one is a highly communicative five year old and today was his first day of kindergarten. I was hoping for him to tell me all about seeing his friends that he hadn't seen all summer (he went to a different summer camp), and all I got was "I played". I tried all sorts of clever ways to get him to chat about things, but to no avail. I'll try some of your tips - the dinner time talks and the prompting with yes and no questions to get him to open up. Maybe something bad happened and he didn't want to talk about it, either way - I respect him and his chatty conversations about Superman, or his reserved silence about his day. Even at 5 - he is so smart, and can smell BS from a mile away. I was also very interested to read the teen's comments about communication with her parents and your article. I liked some of what she had to say as well... Still, one shouldn't be faulted for turning to the internet, or any other medium, to get ideas on how to better communicate with their children. Teen angst, what a wonderfully powerful and (thank God) temporary thing. Thanks again for the article - very helpful. Tracy I liked your article and I’m sure it will help me a lot.
