10 Teen Changes: How You Can Help

About This Solution

Your teen may seem distracted and distant at times but there is a reason for that. Adolescence is a very busy time when teens need to accomplish certain social-emotional tasks like adjusting to their changing bodies and coping with sexual feelings or building a peer group that will help them launch when they are ready to leave the nest. Teens do better when parents understand these tasks and recognize how to help. 


After this Quick Video, you will be able to:

  • Understand “neural gawkiness”
  • Observe the developmental tasks as “jobs” teen needs to accomplish
  • Reflect on your own teen years and increase self-awareness as you teen develops
  • Know when to get support

Be sure to review the handouts and email solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com with any questions.
