Remember to focus on effort, provide opportunities for growth and learning, and be a positive role model.

Encouraging your son is an important part of helping him develop into a confident, capable adult.

Adolescence is a time when teens are trying on different personalities to figure out who they want to be as an adult. This is why they are so easily influenced by peers and pop culture during the teen years.

Getting your kids to listen to you is not a way to control or manipulate them.

A good relationship with your adolescent children goes hand in hand with their general success and happiness.

Getting your kids off to a good start with leadership skills can create a better life for them and help them to become a positive influence on others. When children learn to manage themselves and get along with others, they're better prepared for happiness and success.
