Welcome to Parenting Adolescents!
Parenting teens and preteens has never been easy. It may seem
harder today in this too-much-information-and-everything-else age, but the basic principles haven't changed. It's a balancing act: allowing more freedom while maintaining limits that you hope help them live long enough to find their own minds.
Both parents and teens find help in these pages in understanding and managing each other during these adolescent years--years that can be both exhilirating and daunting.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (Jean and Karen) select questions from those who write in and post the answers at Questions of the Week and then add these to the Archives. You'll find Q&As there on most every topic--teenage attitude, chores, grades, peer problems, sex, drugs, and many more; they're searchable.
You'll also find Polls for parents and teens, a free newsletter, book reviews, a video for parents, links to other useful web sites, info on finding mental health help, a directory of therapists, and a free newsletter.
See comments below from some other site visitors. Oh, yeah--this site is free. But if you'd buy something at Amazon.com by using this link, we'd earn a few cents towards supporting it. Thanks.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You, for this web page and all your great wisdom!

I check the archives when a situation comes up and alas there it is, already asked and your great and sensible advice to follow. - Parent
