Dear Dr Justin
My son is 14 and up until recently we have always been close. When he got in from school he couldn’t wait to tell me about his day. But everything has changed. Now he seems angry and hostile all the time, and nothing I do ever makes him happy. What can I do to connect with him again?

I love my church. It’s a community that represents so much of what I love. Jesus, all my closest friends, music, and transforming peoples lives.

Bullying, rejection, conflict, dating jitters – they’re stressful situations for young people at the best of times. So imagine how much tougher these social scenarios must be for a young person with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

This is the perfect replacement for a soft cheese, it’s spreadable, full of flavour and very versatile. I love Macadamia ‘cheese’ Spread on toasted Paleo bread and crackers, as a dip or as a base for flavoured dips and also to dollop on top of my baked pizzas. (As an alternative you may use cashews or a combination of the two).

A troubled home life. Feelings of insecurity. A longing for love. Self-hatred. For Malcolm Duncan these feelings developed into a destructive morning mantra he would repeat in the mirror throughout his earliest years. Then one night he had a powerful experience… at a rock concert of all places… that changed everything.

Social skills are a set of actions we need to get on with others and navigate life. Parents, youth workers and school chaplains are well placed to help children and teenagers not only develop them, but keep them too.
