The transitional years between childhood and adulthood are filled with exciting – and sometimes challenging – physical, emotional and social changes. Because your teenager is quickly shaping into the person they will be for the rest of their life and gaining more independence every day, it’s important to educate them on how to manage these changes in a healthy way.
