Positive Solutions for Puzzled Parents Being in the trenches with a teenager is not easy. As the mother of a 14 year-old boy said, "I think a Martian has taken over my teenager!" You may be in a state of shock because you no longer recognize the child who has now reached adolescence: moods change, identities shift and attitudes reverse. Parents struggle because the strategies that worked with an eight year-old typically backfire when used on a thirteen year-old. Since teenagers don't come with instruction manuals, parents are in need of a new set of parenting tools! Help Me ...
