Parenting Teenagers 2

Ron: My wife asked me, “What happened to our teenage son? He used to be sweet.”

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended_®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Yes, one parent educator said that all kids are subject to a relapse of the terrible two’s—usually around age 15. It really is predictable. Your loving, huggable child who used to adore you suddenly becomes sarcastic and prickly.

Adolescence naturally shakes things up in any home. In blended families what was once smooth sailing could become rough waters. Or if you’ve already had some struggles, they could get even more frustrating. If this is your situation, pull back and regroup as parents so, united, you can ride out the storm. Like the terrible two’s, this too will pass. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
