Ways to connect with your teen. Hint: It's the little moments, not the big occasions, that really count
Hint: It's the little moments, not the big occasions, that really countI confess — it’s way harder than I thought it was going to be to find things my teenagers and I can do together. Part of it is that Sam, 16, and Annie, 13, are busier than they used to be. On some days, it feels more like I’m running a bed and breakfast than a family.
The other reason is that they’d rather be with their friends. But while this predilection to hang out with their peers is normal, I also know that strong family relationships are still important and much needed. Ingrid goes horseback riding a lot, most often by herself since there is only one horse. But it is a passion I share with her, so even if our time together is just in the car ride back, we talk about the ride,” says the Peterborough, Ont., mom. “If it isn’t horses we try to ice skate together; my husband, Bruce, builds a rink in the backyard.”If you leave your own tastes at home and be clear about how much money you’re willing to spend, you can really learn a lot about your teenager at the mall.
