I would add having things that take time to do- like get out a bowl of peanuts in the shell and kids will often stand around eating them and will talk! Or a puzzle- my girls will often hang out and do a few pieces of a puzzle before heading back to their rooms! And remember it’s not personal! Teens need space and independence and that often feels like they are trying to escape from you. Getting to be the driver is such a great way to connect. As they get older, we have found once they can drive, that really helps to meet their need for independence and they start to come back around! 🙂
