Supporting teenagers - Helping parents to understand the early teenage years (Association of Child Psychotherapists)

Living with teenagers can be one of the most exciting periods in a parent's life. It's great to see your children growing into young people with separate views, hopes and ambitions. But, for many parents, it's very challenging to live with stormy or silent adolescents. Some people simply put the difficulties of adolescence down to 'hormones' and see the 'bad times' as normal. However, it can be useful to notice when relationships start suffering and think about what else might be going on.
