Life with tweens and teens has its ups and downs. Some kids have a hard time figuring out who they are, where they fit in and what they want out of life, especially if they've had a tough start. Caring for a teen can be tough at times.The child in your care needs you now more than ever, even if it isn't obvious in the way they behave. The compassion you show and the way you advocate for your teen at school, in sport and in the community are hugely important.
