Not all teenagers are talkers. Some 10to20s keep their cards close to the vest and share little about their inner worlds. Parents and caregivers can feel curious about what’s on their teens’ mind, and sometimes miss the close connection they used to have. In this Untangling Family Life video, Dr. Lisa Damour explains why teens clam up, offers strategies that can help get them talking, and answers commonly asked questions. Want to help your 10to20 understand why adults sometimes seem to nag (and how to get them to stop)? Check out this Dear Teenagers video.
