You know you're a parent of a teen when... It is a scary time, when your little angel enters adolescence. All of a sudden, they are thinking for themselves, making decisions and following them through without you. While you may not know the exact moment of when you became a parent of a teen, I’d bet there was something that told you the metamorphosis had begun. What rules have you set for your teen's curfew? Being out at night with friends is important to a teen who is working on his identity and his social life. But, there has to be a time when he needs to come home. What is that time in your home? Is it different for school nights and weekends? Share how you handle curfews in your home. What do you do when your teen lies to you? Teens lie for many different reasons, which can take you off the path of whatever the lie was about in the first place. So, what is your reaction to your teen when they lied to you? Share your stories, experiences and insight here. How to Motivate Your Teen To Earn Good Grades Earning good grades in their high school classes is a worthy goal for teens.
