7 Ways to Bond With Your Aloof Teen
5. Appreciate him when he does something that makes you proud
Do not be a miser when it comes to appreciating your teenager. If he does something which makes you proud or shows a great sense of responsibility in carrying out a task, reach out to him and appreciate generously.
6. Respect him in front of his friends
Do not ever make the mistake of scolding him in public, especially in front of his friends/ peers. If you do, your teenager will drift very far away from you. Always respect him in public. If there’s an issue that you need to address, do it privately.
7. Love him the most when he deserves it the least
While raising kids, always keep this simple thing in mind which will help you go a long way in bonding with your kids. When he deserves your love the least, that’s the time when he needs it the most. Never forget that.
So be patient and loving and never ever stop trying to bond with your teenager.
