What do you like about this subject? Teens! I love to talk with parents about teenagers because they are the most misunderstood of all the child developmental stages. It is so incredibly easy to get parents and teens back on track with each other and so very rewarding! AllFamilySolutions.com

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I am working on a PhD in Family Relations and I truly want to leave parents with skills to enhance communication skills between them and their children. These communication skills not only enhance the present bonding and love, it carries them through the adult child's life! I love bringing families closer together. AllFamilySolutions.com

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Teenagers will often give off signals like they are not listening to you and indeed they are absorbing every word and action they hear and see! Don't pay attention to the body language when you are talking to a teen, they are trying hard not to be read as they are vulnerable and they are needing to seperate themselves emotionally! AllFamilySolutions.com

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Hmmm, this is not a popular concept, however, when parents and teens are having problems it is often because this time of seperation has snuck upon the parents and they were expecting it much later. Teens start the seperation process as young as 10 or 11 years of age! Parents are often unaware of their own grieving and bereavement as their child is no longer a baby. AllFamilySolutions.com
