On a June episode ofPEOPLE in 10, Menzel, 53,gave an update on Walkerand how she’s been navigating his teenage years.
“He’s great. He’s a teenager, but he still hugs me once in a while so I’ll take that,” she teased.
“What surprises me is just how mercurial it is, one minute they want nothing to do with you, and the next minute they really show you how much they need you,” she continued.
“You really have to be on your toes and be willing to get out of their way and out of your own way and not take things too personally. Know that they feel your love but they also need their space.”
