Parenting Teens

Feature Writer: Reece Manley
For many Americans, the very word adolescence conjures up images of juvenile behavior, rebellion, emotional instability, raging hormones, drug use, sex and other sides of the dark shades of the youthful stages of development.
Parents of teens know differently! They see the uninhibited hope, the fun-loving, creative, positive young people who are in their charge.
Parents face challenges every day. However, they also face potential every day! A parent's approach to bringing up children to be well-centered, happy and productive young adults is an incredible journey.
Here parents and others will find help on the hard topics, stories of celebration on the good kids can accomplish, and warnings and watches to keep in mind all along the way!
