ParenTeenConnect.org is a free resource for parents that provides expert advice and practical tools for dealing with real parent-teen issues.
About This Project
ParenTeenConnect.org interviewed parents and teens from across the country about the issues that cause conflict in their lives, including screen time, independence, responsibility, and communication. Then we asked parenting expert Dr. Laura Kastner for advice on how to tackle these issues. Using these interviews and Dr. Kastner’s expertise, we created a website especially for teens and their caregivers, where they can hear from real families, get expert advice, and learn about practical tools to help them connect and communicate with each other.
