It isn't always easy to be young - neither is it easy to be a parent to a teenager!

Adolescents must cope with big changes in their bodies and feelings. In the same time there are guestions of one's future and of finding a way to become independent of one's family to solve. Neither makes it life easier media flowing models of how one should look like or even think like.

Parents must also think again their way of parenting. Mothers and fathers may be worried about:

• How to protect teenagers from too big leaps towards adulthood?
• How to support them in making wise decisions?
• How to maintain good relationships between teenagers and parents?
• What all should you know and take notice of as a parent in your child's pubertity?
