Is your teen rebelling against you? Obsessed with clothes and appearance? Glued to their phone/im/facebook/myspace/friends? Well, there is an actual scientific answer as to WHY they are acting this way!
Check out A Parent's Guide to the Teen Brain, from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, HERE to learn the science behind your teen's behavior, and skills, tools and tips to learn what you can do!
Many parents wonder about how to address issues they come across with their pre-teen and teen children. Topics like drugs & alcohol, bullying, and diet can be hard for parents to deal with. Well here's a parent blog just for Rose Tree Media Parents to help Start the Discussion!
Chrissy, Thank you so much for this link. I find it is really helpful for me to understand how my sons brain (and body) are functioning. I use the information to keep me focused on setting appropriate boundaries (even when he would like me not to) and also to explain to my him WHY I am making the decisions I am making (besides just saying "I'm the parent, that's why!")
