Scenario

When parent-child playfulness shifts during adolescence

My daughter and I used to have dance parties in the kitchen while cooking dinner, but ever since she started high school she seems embarrassed by that kind of spontaneous fun and I don't know if I should respect her new maturity or try to coax her back into being goofy with me. I miss our ridiculous moments but I don't want to be the mom who can't let her kid grow up.
