Help for Parents of Troubled Teens
Welcome to 4 Troubled Teens, where we focus on the special needs of parents who are struggling with an adolescent. If you are the parent of a teen who is showing signs of behavioral, emotional, or academic problems, you will find great articles on how to assess your teen and how to help them.
It is a normal part of the teen years to have some conflict with parents - they are starting to crave more independence and they will want to make their own decisions more and more. However, if your teen appears to be doing self-destructive things, you should not write this off as "normal teen behavior." If your teen's behavior has resulted in dropping grades, complaints from teachers, or other negative consequences it's important to intervene as soon as possible.
Teens tend to respond better to intervention when behavioral problems are caught early and dealt with quickly. Parents often find it difficult to identify when a child is at risk for dropping out of school, drug or alcohol use, suicide, and other dangerous or self-defeating behaviors. Our goal is to connect parents of troubled teens to the information and resources they need to quickly identify risk factors and take appropriate action to help their troubled teen.
