Junior High and High School

By secondary school, living with a boy is more a matter of fair exchange—“I’ll drive you there if you help me out here,” “If you cook, I’ll clean up.” A boy can have much more separation of his activities and yours. But stay friendly and available so talking can still happen. Be sure to still have special times one-on-one. Stop for a snack and talk on shopping trips. Go out to movies together and take time afterward to talk.

Some boys still love cuddling at this age; others find it too intrusive. Find ways to show affection that are respectful of his wishes. Sit close on the couch, stroke his head at bedtime, tickle him—find the ways that he doesn’t mind.

You may have to make a stand against a school activity or sport dominating your kid’s life too much (see “Homework Hell,” this page). Allow your son to have a “health day” or two once a term—a day off school when he doesn’t have to be sick but can be peaceful by himself.
