I disagree. You don't try to have a "genuine emotional connection" with a teenage male child that uses tears to manipulate you. You tell them to stop being a pussy bitch and grow the gently caress up, preferably by shouting that into their crying face from about an inch away.

Tell me about your father

He's a talented, funny, intelligent guy that works his rear end off and doesn't take himself too seriously.

And if I ever cried in front of him about anything other than the death of a close family member he would have called me a pussy, because that is what I would have been. Dads should be expected to teach their sons how to be men, not to coddle them until they are useless and repulsive softbodies.

Kid is 13 and already becoming fatass with no friends, he's on track to grow up on wizardchan. Seriously, the longer you wait to develop healthy eating/excercise habits and a healthy social life the harder it gets. This kid is about to spend 4 years in highschool being a virgin who's only other friends are also asocial nerds and then be a bitter weirdo throughout college who's resentful of normal people if something isn't done pretty much right now.

All of which parents have control of except possibly lovely school food if you are a poor. Like if one of my kids was getting fat I'd just make them come to the gym with me or do something else to keep active and if they don't want to then you just take the "video games" and "geek culture" away. Just passively letting them get fatter without doing anything meaningful about it is being a lovely parent. You can control what they eat, what they own and what they can do at 13. If they are making bad choices you are kind of obligated as a parent to help them correct it.

It's almost like you need to exemplify things with your own actions as a parent and provide a stable home life to kids instead of trying to forcibly instill values with an authoritarian attitude and limp-dicked "man up" horseshit, or somethin.

take an interest in his life and interests and try to connect with him while also investigating possible treatment for the underlying developmental disorder he pretty obviously has

or punch him in the face and call him a human being both work

reddit dad said his kid hates doing anything else than playing minecraft or w/e so uhhh whats your point exactly

kids aren't machines you can make them do as you say but you can't make them enjoy it. honestly, if the ONLY thing that makes your kid happy is playing games with his creepy friend you'd be kind of disappointed too

Hanging out with reddit dad = Unhappy kid
Going to theme parks with reddit dad = Unhappy kid
Eating out with reddit dad = Unhappy kid
Playing videogames with friend, without reddit dad = Happy kid

current psych community recommendations when raising a more shy/withdrawn child is actually to provide much more direction and discipline in their life, like what you say. however the reddit dad said his kid does everything that's asked of him, even if they come out of it only seeing the negatives. everything the father complains about is resentment of his sons lack of spirit and positive attitude. how exactly do you beat that into somebody?
