Parenting Teens

When a child - seemingly overnight - transforms from your baby to an adult-in-training, adjusting takes a little time and lots of patience, courage, nail-biting, self-discipline, consistency, clarity and ultimately love. You may alternate between a calm sense of accomplishment and a catastrophic angst over the past and future, depending on the latest encounter with your ever-changing teen.

This can be a time of great joy as you get to know the person your child is becoming. At the same time, you may be overcome with terror when you realize your child has been launched into the world - such that it is - knowing you cannot be there to make all his decisions anymore.

To make your burden lighter, Suite101 offers articles by a variety of experts on teen discipline, teen, sexuality, teen health and teen culture.
