“Hug A Teen” is all about understanding teens!
Raising teenagers is hard…
It’s a time when they’ll push your buttons, and you’re expected to know how to handle it all.
Teenagers are going through difficult challenges like hormonal fluctuations, changes in social dynamics, academic pressures, and the process of establishing their own identity.
And this is why it’s important for parents to provide guidance and support.
HugATeen focuses on topics that are relevant to both parents and teenagers.
The goal is to gain a better understanding of the modern world that teenagers need to navigate.
Positive parent-teen relationships can last beyond the teenage years by communicating with kindness, respect, and understanding.
