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. Read what other parents have said and add your opinion here.

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. Read what other parents have said and add your opinion here.

Best Tips for Parenting Teens in the Digital Age
Today's parental worry about the Net, texting, MySpace, Facebook, etc. is a very real fear. In 1998, I likened the internet to any alley or street in the world and then asked the community if they were going to let their teen walk down those streets alone. The answer I got from our active parents was a resounding "NO!" But what can you do to keep your teen safe and use the internet as a helpful tool for the whole family? Read what other parents have said and add your opinion here.

Caught Your Teen Drinking Alcohol? What Did You Do?
Teens have been known to experiment with drinking alcohol. Some go a step further and need help to keep their drinking from becoming an addiction. Here are stories from parents of teen about finding out their teen was drinking alcohol. Did they remain calm or lose it? What discipline did they use? How did they determine if their teen was just experimenting and being social or if their teen had a real problem with alcohol? Read what other parents have said and add your opinion here.
