When families struggle to maintain playfulness as children become teenagers

My teenage kids and I used to have dance parties in the kitchen and build blanket forts, but now they roll their eyes at everything and I feel like I've lost permission to be goofy with them, even though I can see they're stressed and could use some lightness.
