Parent Package about Adolescents

The Parent Package is designed to help physicians share important information about adolescence with parents. The Parent Package addresses 15 adolescent topics. Each topic contains up-to-date facts, parenting tips, and other resources to help parents guide their teenagers to become healthy, responsible, young adults. Used individually or as a package, the handouts can reinforce—but should not replace—a personal discussion between a physician and an adolescent’s parent(s) or guardian.
