Active Parenting of Teens provides parents and caregivers the guidance and support that is needed to turn the challenges of raising a teenager into opportunities for growth. Successfully parenting pre-teens and teens will always be one of the hardest challenges for parents and caregivers.  This is especially true in today’s society where children are forced to become adults rather quickly. Children growing up in today’s world have to make decisions about drugs, sexuality, and violence before they understand the consequences of their decisions.  That is why a parent’s or caregiver’s role in guiding their youth is more important than ever. The Active Parenting of Teens curriculum helps ensure that parents and caregivers are equipped with the necessary knowledge and tools needed to help their children develop the skills and character they need to not only survive but to thrive as they grow and gain independence.

County Family Center’s Active Parenting of Teens sessions are open to parents and caregivers of tweens and teens (13 years and older). As with the Active Parenting 4^th edition, parents and caregivers enrolled in the Active Parenting of Teens sessions will receive guidance from parenting class instructors to gain the necessary tools and skills needed to raise safe, healthy and responsible youth.
