Identifying the characteristics of an emotionally healthy child or teen is a good beginning. Know what's normal behavior for your son or daughter. Be aware of dramatic changes in a child's behavior. Parents who communicate well with their children when they are younger will have the basis to fall back on when those children reach adolescence. Both the National PTA and Arizona PTA have websites.
Many useful resources are on both website, including dates and locations of upcoming events.
Another exciting feature of the Arizona Website is the Reflections section. You can click on that and see the current winners of the Reflections Program. The NewsReport will also be available on the website. The National PTA website has areas you may find helpful. You will need your password , which is located on the back side of your PTA membership card.
