My son spends most of his day in his room. He comes out and stands where ever we may be for a while then goes back. I try to engage him in convo but for the most part I just get shoulder shrugs. I remembered from a long time ago telling him I love you and he would say ok. I explained to him you are supposed to say i love you back. he said why? The best i could come up with on short notice ."Because I need to know if you love me." But you know i do . "but sometimes you need to say the words because it makes me feel good inside when you say that". oh, ok. LOL so now once in a while he will tell me he loves me. Any way getting back , I told him we have nothing in common and i want to spend time with him. That we need to find something we both enjoy doing. Every night since then (about a week) he has been out here after Tom goes to bed and takes the remote and finds comedy on tv and we both watch this together. How can I apply this new found information ?
