1. They don't listen.
2. Hard to communicate with them.
3. They live in their own world.[/quote]

personally, point 1 and 2, basically is the same, communication breakdown
point 3, is the effect/product of this communication breakdown

in fact, they do listen, but not to parents...
cos to them, parents are not conveying what they need, at the emotional level

and this, u need to find out what is this \"missing needs\"

if you can find a channel to his missing link, you can start to re-build communication with them
