Hi Reader,

You might have noticed a theme in this week's newsletter, and that's because helping your teen navigate puberty, dating, and learning about sex can be, well, awkward. We're here to help. We have more articles on these topics on our website here in the Teen Relationships tab, or you can always ask anonymous questions in our Facebook group: Support for Parenting Teens and Tweens.​

Thanks for being a part of our community.

P.S. Speaking of dating, this post 5 Tips To Keep College Kids Safe As They Learn How To Adult For The First Time, is a good reminder of some of the life skills and conversations you should be having with your teens before they are thinking of living on their own in the future.
