lnformation on Specific Health Topics
Surveys of teens show that they want and expect their parents/guardians to play a key role in their lives. They appreciate you. They listen. They remember your advice. Even when it seems like they’re not paying attention.” Then add a space, then add, “The bottom line: Your teens need you close by during this time of exploration or they will find something else to hold on to, just like they did when they were toddlers. They need your help to navigate the barriers. And they need you close enough to openly ask questions and talk about problems, but far enough away so they can begin making decisions for themselves.
