Middle School Parenting Tips: Do your kids always give you one word
answers?
"How was your day?" "Fine." "What did you do at school today?" "Nothing."
Sound familiar? We expect them to share their thoughts and feelings on our
schedule, but it doesn't happen that way. We have to be patient and we
have to be available when they are ready to open up. You never know when
it is coming. When it does, you'd better stop whatever you're doing and
listen, because the opportunity may not come around again for a while.
