Dear Parent,

Navigating the teen years can be formidable. But research shows that kids who learn from their parents about the dangers of underage drinking, illicit drugs, tobacco use, dangerous driving and other risky behaviors are less likely to engage in them.

The following booklet provides the information and expert advice you need to help guide your teen to a healthy life. From setting expectations and rules to monitoring your teen, to being a good role model, the advice is simple and easy to do, with suggestions for actions to take daily, weekly or monthly.

Whether you are a mom or dad, single or married, grandparent or other caregiver, this handbook provides tips and advice that you can use. The nation’s pediatricians thank you for taking the time to focus on your teen’s healthy growth and positive future. It’s an investment you’ll never regret.
