Since this is a period when children communicate less, at least with their families, they will present some ideas and views to you. A 13-year-old girl is already aware of what to say in certain situations. Not only words, children also begin to focus on body language and tone of voice.
Ways for parents to maintain communication with their 13-year-old daughter include:
Find a good time to talk. It could be while cooking together in the kitchen or walking on the street. Change the way you communicate to increase efficiency. Instead of asking "how are you today," share your day first. You can also challenge your child to share something that makes him or her feel bad, funny, or weird that just happened. Remember to listen while your child talks. When your daughter is ready to share, you should stop what you're doing and give her your full attention.
