Welcome to Parenting Adolescents.
We are a nonprofit site devoted to helping parents and teens.
Access to ALL portions of this site is free.

This week's Questions of the Week: sex and disrespect in teens 14 and 15 years old.

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 become their own persons.

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, offer for a free newsletter, book reviews, a video for parents, links to other useful web sites, info on finding mental health help, and a directory of therapists.

See comments below from some other site visitors.

 I like the Total Transformation program for managing oppositional kids:
and right now, they're offering the program FREE
to parents who agree to give them feedback.


Note: If you buy this program, Parenting Adolescents earns a small fee for providing this link,
so I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
