Your teenager was the kid who stayed up finishing projects, came home with A's, and signed up for everything — and now he hasn't left his room in three days.

For the mom who keeps pointing at the trophies on the wall and wondering what happened to the kid who earned them. When did you first notice the shift? Was it sudden — or did it happen slowly?
