Most families with teens would benefit from some kind of “family therapy”. Teens will begin to isolate from their families at the age of 14. This is natural, but if the communication divide gets wider and wider, arguments begin to take place and the communication breakdown becomes hard to repair. My 14 soon to be 15 year old son spends countless hours in his room, very little time at the dinner table and talks primarily when spoken to. Sometimes he will choose to offer information but not very often. He is not confrontational and when we ask him to do something he may, sigh but usually follows through. So far my gut tells me life with him is still manageable for us.
