So whether the teenage years are on the horizon or you’re already navigating the choppy teenage seas, Parent Club have lots of advice and tips to help.

But the good news is, all the things you’re doing now to help your child feel safe and loved – like talking, spending time together and setting boundaries – are laying an amazing foundation for the teenage years.
Teen behaviour for beginners
Ever felt as if you and your teen are on different planets? Our guide to teen behaviour will help you understand why young people do the things they do so you can be there for them. Parent Club’s top tip? Letting them know they can come to you with anything is the best way you can support them.
Friends and relationships
As your child grows up, their friends become more and more important to them, and they may start caring more about what they think than what you think. But they still need you – even if they don’t show it! Parent Club have lots of advice to help you support your teen through the challenges and changes of friendships and relationships at this age. They've even got tips to help with those awkward conversations about sex.

There is support out there for them, and for you. On Parent Club you can find out more about the different issues that can affect young people, and what you can do, and where you can get help.
