Your Child, Ages 12-18

Dear Parents,

Prom night is a high-school tradition, but it can make some parents nervous. Ease your anxiety by talking with your teen about prom safety and the perils of drinking.

At some point, it'll happen: your teen won't want to be seen with you. Despite the challenges of maintaining the parent-teen relationship, it's essential to teach your teen how to make good choices in life.

Television, video games, the Internet -- kids today are bombarded by various media. Teach them how to become media-savvy consumers.
