Your Child, Ages 12-18

Dear Parents,

Send your teen back to school with a plan for success. Find strategies to help with math, reading, and homework, and learn how to help an underachiever.

Is your teen driving to school? Keep him safe behind the wheel by setting firm rules of the road.

Send off summer in style this Labor Day with fun printables and quizzes, and learn how to throw the ultimate backyard barbecue.

"I allowed my 17-year-old son to use my car to go to work tonight. I woke up around 1:00 a.m. and noticed he was not home, so I called his cell phone and he didn't answer. I then drove my wife's car to his job, and noticed that the place was closed. I called him a second time and he said he was at work, but he didn't know I had already been to his job. How should I discipline him?"
