TEENS: How do you get teenage stepson to open up and talk with you?

My stepson thinks a lot of me (I think) but is very stand-offish in general and it's hard to get him to open up and talk sometimes. Any advice?TEENS: How do you get teenage stepson to open up and talk with you?
just sit down with him and talk just start a convo with him and just like slowly move on to the thing you want to talk to him about thats what my mom does .. its normal for us teens to want to keep sevrets but it is also good to tell parents sometimes..good luck k and if you need any other teen related ? just ask..ttyl bye mackenzieTEENS: How do you get teenage stepson to open up and talk with you?
He's probably just shy. And maybe he's just not comfortable talking about his life with you yet. Hang out with him, and try to get to know him. He should open up soon. Hope this helps!
Bribe him with goodies. Duh.
good luck with that. teens wont even talk to each other let alone their step parents
Most teen guys aren't very talkative with parents....actually that's all teens. And if you are new into his life it's prolly harder for him to open up to you. I'd say not to take it personally if he does think a lot of you. He's just at that stage where he's a teen and a guy. Guys have to be tough and not show emotions
If he doesn't want to open up you really can't make him. What you can do is build a relationship with him that will make him comfortable coming to you if he has a need.





Don't overwhelm him....take it slow and you two may become friends.
It depends, how long have you been his step parent? and what has he hear you saying about his bio parent? sometimes it just takes time, but yea bribing cant hurt, raise his allowence, bend the rules now and again, make him think your his friend. But thing is, he is a teenager, he really only opens up to his friends and whatever you do DONT spy on him
alcohol, and lots of it!
give it time !try one day some thing that's not hard to answer or to scare him away. just take time but be his's Friend. but you also need to be gentile about it my be his's not commutable Enif for you to ask question like that .just like i sayed give it time and you will see!.
