P arenting can be the most rewarding work of adult life.
Nothing brings more joy and pride than a happy, productive, and loving child.
Each age and stage of a child's development has specific goals and tasks. For infants, it is to eat, sleep, and explore their world. For adolescents, it is to become their own person with their own group of friends. Adolescents need many skills in order to successfully achieve their goal of increased independence. Some adolescents do not make this transition smoothly.
