I always felt that my DD=12y were very close and we've a great bond. However the last couple of years she's changed: moods are a roller coater, she says she wants to talk/spend time with me (but when i do she has a flat effect), constant fighting with both her older and younger sib's (18y & 6y).. It's very frusterating, it's like who is this person that is in my home.. I know it's the age, and sometimes i feel that i get through to her and other times not so much.. I just dont know what to do with her anymore

How do I get my tween to talk instead of shutting down and exploding?

How do I talk to my teen about sex without getting them grossed out? -
Every time I ask my DD (11) how her day was, or to pick up her mess she says that I'm yelling at her (I'm not) and storms off. What do I do?!? -
How do you deal with a know it all tween? She is constantly making statements as if they are fact, when in actuallity, they are false. She constantly argues with everyone.

How do I get my 12 yr. old son to understand that when I tell him/remind him to take a shower that I'm not saying he stinks I'm just trying to get him to understand he needs to shower every day so he doesn't stink? Thanks

Hi, I have a fifeteen year old son who is autistic,it seems like I have to constantly remind him of things I have asked him to do.He is high functioning and very smart, he has proven to me he has a really good memory, and yet, I have such a hard time getting him to finish chores, take a shower, do his homework etc...without constantly reminding him.Why is he doing this and what can I do to not seem like I am constantly nagging and fighting with him?
Thanks Teresa
