Help! My child is becoming a teenager!

First of all, don't panic.  As countless parents can tell you, teenagers sometimes
get a bad rap.  Despite what you may have heard, many kids and their
parents make it through adolescence without all the drama that you may be
expecting.  As your children make the transition into adulthood, you may
find their maturing perspectives and developing sense of themselves exciting and
enjoyable.  Adolescence doesn't necessarily mean arguments and turmoil!
