A Parent’s Guide to Surviving the Teen Years (for Parents) – Nemours KidsHealth

March 27, 2021 By i-Ville Family Leave a Comment

The teenage years can be a time of intense physical, emotional and intellectual growth. Parents may notice changes in behavior and increased independence among their adolescent children. This is a good time for parents to educate themselves about teenagers and to have many conversations with them about what they’re going through. It’s also important to pick your battles. Tobacco, drugs and alcohol use are far more important subjects than how they dress. Pay attention to key warning signs, such as extreme weight changes, failing grades, or mentions of suicide. Set appropriate rules for your teens while still respecting their privacy. Ultimately, the message should be this: we’re going through this together.

Key Takeaways:
