News, Advice, and Tips for Parenting Teenagers

Parenting isn't easy for anyone - not the married couple, the single parent, or the blended family. Experts tell parents to watch for signs like mood swings, changes in social circles, a sudden drop in grades that indicate a teen may be headed down the wrong path. But parents have another, often unused advocate for their kids - each other.

"Parents need to stick together. Over the years, I've had people come to me with concerns about my girls. They tell me something they had seen or heard, and they share concerns about people they may have seen one of my girls with and wanted to make me aware of it. I appreciate when people share with me."

Parents can and should be allies, working together to guide their kids toward bright, healthy futures. Rather than judging, pointing fingers, or worse yet ignoring each other, parents can offer each other much needed support and encouragement, and be an extra set of eyes and hears.
