43YOUTHFOR PARENTS ANDCARERSParenting through the teen years can bethe most demanding of all of the agesand stages our kids grow through. Oftenwith very little support available to helpus along the way.As our teens start to figure out who theyare as people and start to seperate fromtheir parents identity it can often bringconflict into the home. The teen yearsare full of many firsts and as brains aregoing under there last hard wiring andhormones are changing it really is notsurprising that they struggle with anxiety,embarrassment and confusion.Somehow as parents we have tonavigate our way though this and get ourteens across to adulthood. Certainly noeasy task!Lastly no parent should feel isolated fromtheir teens behaviour. Somehow insociety sharing our younger children’sunsociable behaviour is well talked aboutbut when our kids become teens parentscan fell a reluctance to share and reachout for support. No parent teenrelationship is beyond repair and withsome extra parental support and lots oflove our teens can thrive.PARENTING SUPPORTFOR YOU OR YOURTEEN• Dads HQ Parent Coaching• Youthline• School Counsellor• Your GP• Whats Up NZ
