Last week, a parent told me her 9-year-old says "I'm fine" to every single question. "How was school?" "Fine." "Did something happen with your friend?" "I'm fine." "Are you upset about the move?" "I'm fine."
She was worried she was losing connection with her daughter. But here's what I see happening developmentally, and what you can do about it...
In this issue: The four reasons kids retreat into "I'm fine," the critical window you have to rebuild communication, and the question framework that opens doors without feeling like an interrogation.
