Parenting Teens

Raising a teenager is never easy, but it can be especially challenging for foster parents. In addition to the usual teenage mood swings and mischief, foster teens may also be dealing with grief, anger, and trauma from their previous experiences.

As a result, foster parents need to be patient, understanding, and prepared to deal with difficult behaviors. They also need to provide structure and stability, while still allowing their teens to express themselves.

It can be a delicate balance, but it is crucial for foster teens to feel safe and loved in their new home. With patience and understanding, foster parents can help their teens heal and thrive.
