When your teen hits a rough patch … you need to understand the implications on the entire household.  For instance, dealing with a struggling teen can be hard on your marriage.  Really hard!

A struggling teen can drive a nasty wedge between a husband and wife.  So, Mom … Dad … stand up to the pressure that threatens your relationship.  Present a united front to your teen and insist that your child treat both of you with respect.

Become co-warriors in the cause.  Mom, support your husband.  Dad, don’t wimp out on your wife.  Two warriors united in battle will keep a child from self-destructing.

Let your teen know that you’re working together for a common cause.  A healthy and happy home.
