Do you have a tip to add to our index? Post it on our forum!
Uphold the relationships your teenager has in their life. Sometimes it is hard to think of our teens as anything more than an extension of ourselves. But, they are their own person, with different relationships with the people who surrounded your family. Do not only allow them to keep the relationships with grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc., but also, promote them. Send a clear message that even though their family structure has changed, 'family' is still important.
