HOW TO RAISE A TEENAGER… I would not stand here to reduce parenting to the old clichéd expression as ’easy as pie’: Nevertheless‚ raising an adolescent is in many ways like‚ baking a cake. It requires time‚ patience and the right ingredients. I am here to reassure you that all hope is not lost. Different teens have different ways to deal with growing up.

It is a good idea to make
