<\/a><\/p>\nFor helping your teen find balance, check out Challenge Success<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\nI love this site because I’m working to help my kid achieve balance and finding that it’s really, really tough. This project out of Stanford University works with schools and parents to shift the focus from kids’ academic performance to raising healthy kids who like to learn, not just to get a certain test score.<\/p>\n
They explain on their site that they “provide families and schools with the practical, research-based tools they need to create a more balanced and academically fulfilling life for kids.”<\/p>\n
Find their Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\nFor knowing how to best reach your kid, visit the Center for Parent Teen Communication<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\nFrom Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, I love that there are medical professionals behind this effort to reframe how adults view the teenage years. They’re very positive, and frame\u00a0“adolescence as an age of opportunity.”<\/p>\n
Find their (pretty new) Facebook page here<\/a>.<\/p>\nFor help talking about sex,\u00a0puberty and relationships, go to Amaze<\/a>![\"\"](\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/friends-1941580_640-640x426.jpg\")
<\/a> <\/strong><\/h4>\nThis website<\/a> has lots of great\u00a0videos to start important conversations about tough topics like\u00a0puberty, sexuality, sexual health (including STD’s), gender identity and more. I love that they also address the importance of healthy relationships based on respect.<\/p>\nNot sure when is the right age to talk with your kid about something? They have an age guide to help you out.<\/p>\n

I used to rely on it to know what’s appropriate for my kiddo, but now that she’s older, that’s less of a concern. The site is still very helpful, whether I’m looking for a synopsis of a series or conversation starters that don’t mean I have to devote a full day of my life to binging something she loves but I don’t, or just looking for gift ideas in the book section.<\/p>\n

While you make think this is geared toward younger kids, local parenting magazines, like Chicago Parent<\/a> and the many others specific to metro areas are the country, can be good resources for parents of tweens and teens.<\/p>\nYou can find activities that allow you to have fun together and connect (which can be great for reaching balance, per Challenge Success) as well as resources in your community and solid parenting advice.
