Hello, and welcome to TeenLifeParenting.com. This website is all about helping parents get through the fun and difficult teen years. As the mother of two teenagers, I know the ups and downs of this time. That’s why I want to offer tools that will help families do well.
My name is Donna Smith, and I made TeenLifeParenting to share my own experiences and give you useful tools based on my training as a child psychologist. After I got my degree, I worked as a family therapist for more than ten years, teaching parents how to talk to their teens and manage them in a healthy way. When my own kids turned into teenagers, I saw being a parent in a whole new way. Right now, I want to help families raise their teen members’ self-esteem and build good relationships.
TeenLifeParenting is a place where you can get help without fear of being judged. I try to make the problems that many parents face seem normal by having open conversations and giving tips based on science. If parents learn from my mistakes, I hope they will feel confident in their ability to support their teen’s growing independence while still keeping a close relationship with them as they grow up and become young adults.
As my teens continue to grow up and as I continue to learn how to be a parent, I look forward to writing helpful articles, tips, and even funny stories that show how teens think and feel. Please get in touch if you have any questions, ideas for topics, or stories you’d like to share. There are many ways I can help parents who want to connect with and understand their teen children. It’s important to me that TeenLifeParenting is a group where families can feel like “we’re all in this together!”
