My kids (13, 11, 8) don't always want to talk when they walk in the door. They just want to relax a little. So instead of always asking "how was your day" I sometimes just give a hug and say "I'm happy to see you" and - gasp! - they sometimes say it back. Then a little later they're more ready to talk. Just wanted to share that this worked for me and would love to hear other communication/connection hacks, especially for older kids... via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2XDZDgV
