After your evening meal, get in the habit of taking evening walks and having good heart-to-heart talks. (The younger they are when you start this, the less suspicious they will be.) If they don’t want to share what’s going on in their life, you can encourage them by talking about some things going on in your life or that you may have gone through when you were their age. Try to draw them out if you can, but don’t push. Use this time to encourage and provide guidance for your child, not lecture and scold.
