Lately I’ve noticed that my teen daughter seems withdrawn. She doesn’t like to do what she used to enjoy and she’s less chatty. Her grades are not suffering and she is still attending her CCAs. How should I approach this?
On a Monday afternoon, Wendy Foong steps into a flat in Hougang, where two teenage brothers, Aiden (not his real name), 15, and his 14-year-old sibling, are just waking from an afternoon nap.
I know it’s bad to show favouritism between children. However, in achievement-oriented Singapore, it is easy to praise one for their hard work and success at achieving a good score or getting an award.
