When He Is Eating
- My son likes to talk when we sit down and eat. It doesn't have to be dinner, it can be a snack. So long as there is food, he chats away. I guess I'm lucky, but I suggest it to try out with other teens because it works so well for us.

Right Before Bed
- My teens tend to share with me right at bedtime, either mine or theirs. I think it is because they are starting to relax and want input on things that are going on so that they can process it. Not sure, but I know that there have been times when I have wanted to use toothpicks to keep my eyes open I am so tired!
