Parenting Teens
I am loving this new stage of my child's growth, but I can't help but notice it is not treated with the same type of respect and reverence as other stages in a child's life. Teenagers often get an unnecessarily bad rap just for existing, but they are going through major life and brain changes! Parents yearn to keep their children small, and while little ones are certainly cute, the major benefits of raising a teenager are often overlooked or ignored. The abundance of information out there regarding parenting starts to peter out the older children get. But parents of teens still want to read and learn too!
