Need help with teen tantrums?

Has your child turned into a monstrous teenager? The apple of your eye, once so happy to chat with you and share their world now viewing you as a prison guard bent on the destruction of their social life?

Influenced by the new George Clooney film, The Descendants (released 27 January, 2012), which details the tensions and difficulties experienced by George’s character when dealing with his troublesome teenage daughter (Shailene Woodley), family therapist Sue Atkins will be helping answer community questions about avoiding conflict, communicating with your teen and dealing with dilemmas at this tricky age. If you need help with a troublesome teen right now, you'll receive sound advice and a friendly welcome on the Parents Of Teens message board.
