One thing people don’t tell you before you have children is how hard it can be to parent as they mature to tweens and teenagers. The raging hormones. The mood swings. The back talk. Let’s face it - parenting a tween or teen can be difficult and scary! We sat down with parenting expert, Alyson Schafer, to discuss why parenting doesn’t have to be scary and to help us understand why it’s OUR job to be there for our tween or teen and provides practical steps you can take today to start building a stronger relationship with your child.
