The goal of By Parents-For Parents is to share information on parenting teens. Parents struggling with teens whose problem behavior is out of control can touch base with those who have weathered the storms of adolescence. Articles both by parents of teens in the midst of this struggle and those who have successfully guided their adolescent children through these formative years are intended to both inform and transform. Self-tests allow you to measure in an objective fashion the effectiveness of your parenting techniques. The discussion area is an open forum for parents of teens who want to share both their struggles and their successes with one another. Information on programs for troubled teens is also available.
