Life is busy, and even with the best of intentions it can be hard to stay connected with our tweens and teens as their world begins to separate from ours. There might be fewer opportunities to talk and see each other, or less shared experiences to draw on as you try to keep your relationship strong. Remember that even the small moments can be meaningful. Take any opportunity to share a sideways hug, a silly joke, or even a chance to sit quietly together. By all means be available for deep conversations when they're required, but it's good to know that there are lots of simple ways to express "I enjoy being with you".
