Hi
Has anyones else found their 11 year old boy suddenly doesnt really want to talk anymore and is more intrested in either being silly, talking in funny voices or just not taking at all?

Doesnt want to help around house or actually do anything that isnt soley for him for example food shopping, running errands...

I am a single parent and its only me and my Son in our home, we used to spend time together and still do if I instigate it something he enjoys (board game, football) but he doesnt want to seem to want to know me much lately.

Im just wondering if this is nornal pre teen behaviour?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks :)

Yes! I went through a period of describing my son's behaviour like he has turned into a toddler again!
Just keep chatting to him, keep cuddling him and being the great mum I'm sure you are! All by not nagging him or pressurising him too much . It's not easy being a teen mum 😂

Thanks for your reply. I think im just starting the teenage journey, fingers crossed it wont be too traumatic!

Glad to hear its something others kids go through. @cuddlings57
