CRACKING THE CODE: COMMUNICATING WITH TEENAGE BOYS
October, 2026
Led by Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Beth Sonnenberg, LCSW
LIVINGSTON, NJ — Beth Sonnenberg, a licensed clinical social worker, shares practical ways for moms to connect with their teenage sons at The Livingston NJ chapter of Young Men’s Service League monthly meeting.
Takeaways:
-Listen with curiosity, not judgment.
-When they’re not in the mood to talk, let them know: “I can tell you’re not up for talking with me right now, but I’m always here to listen.”
-Ask about more than homework and chores.
-Create rituals: Sunday pancakes, card games, or another shared tradition.
