082: Understanding Your Teen Better

Every homeschooler will parent a teen at some point, and understanding your teen better is crucial. Awash with new experiences, challenges, and feelings more intense than ever before, teens require new tactics for parents. Every experience they go through will affect the others. Academic difficulty can lead to emotional issues, or vice-versa. Understanding your teen better will allow you to be better prepared. For those with younger children, you can get off on the right foot before your child is a teen.

Today, we share our thoughts, experiences, and methods for parenting teens. And we give a glimpse of what lays beyond the teenage years.
