Multiples During
the Adolescent Years - Special Report |
A TWINS™ Magazine Special Report
Compiled by the Editors of TWINS™ Magazine
Published by TWINS™ Magazine
Twins and multiples in their teenage years present a new set of challenges and experiences for their parents. Like any child, teenaged twins, triplets and higher order multiples begin to test the authority of their parents and form their own adult personalities. They make life choices that help define them as individuals, but can often lead to rebellion and trouble.
This collection of articles provides straight forward insights and advice on adolescent development, behavior issues, health and education and other parenting issues. As marriage and family are redefined by the growth of the multiples to young adults, parents must adjust and relate to their children in a different manner. Likewise, teenagers are beginning to learn about work through babysitting and other household chores. Teens also learn about love and dating, parties, conflict and emotional growth, often without their twin by their side.
Also included in this comprehensive report are articles regarding single parenting and teen health concerns such as anorexia and acne, lawbreaking and substance abuse.
