Question: Why do 13 year olds suddenly turn uncommunicative? I'm lucky if I get a grunt from my grandson.? Answer: There are a multitude of reasons from a psychological aspect but most probable is the fact that they are experiencing a whole lot of things at this time. They are discovering the opposite sex, their bodies are changing, and in the case of a grandson, he is learning from the media and friends that affection is not masculine. The worst thing to do is pressure him to be the way he was. I had two nephews that were the same way. 6 years later they are too of the most caring, affection young men you could ever meet. Give him time, you aren't doing anything wrong.
