Then…
I can still remember coming home with my daughter from the hospital and not knowing exactly what to do with her at first. Time went by and she learned how to hold her head up, roll over, and eventually stand up and walk on her own just in the first year of life. The little chubby arms and legs disappeared as she transitioned into a toddler on the move.
Now…
Years have gone by and my daughter is the first to help my spouse and I break into the teen years. She is now up in the high school and learning about keeping track of her own class schedule, locker combinations, and starting her years as a band and choir student. She has to keep track of her items for practice and takes the bus away to games.
I love these new experiences with each of my children as they grow, but it would be nice to have a resource to help navigate through the teen years. The Center for Parent and Teen Communication is a new and helpful resource to better help guide us through this important stage of life. You can get a sampling of the type of advice you’ll find with this post (http://bit.ly/2xJgzay) from the director, Dr. Ginsburg. Please feel free to share the video featured above.
