Teen-aged parents Being a new parent, and learning how to meet a baby's needs, is stressful for anyone. But teen-aged parents need extra support. They may need help in meeting the demands of caring for their child, especially when they're faced with studying for a test and staying up all night with a sick baby.
Many communities offer classes on parenting skills.
Other resources are available to teen-aged parents. And some schools even have added child care centers in hopes of making it easier for teen-aged parents to stay in school. Check with your baby's doctor, or local health organization, to see what resources might be available to you. All Rights Reserved.
