fbpx My Teenage Son Doesn’t Want to Take Care of Himself. Is This Normal for Teens?
Authored by Dr. Michelle Murray on August 9, 2022
Dear Dr. Michelle:

My teen has no motivation to take care of himself - I have to remind him to shower. He sleeps all the time, and he has gained a lot of weight. How do I know if this is typical teen behavior or something more?
