Kim Hansel, editor of Fostering Families Today magazine is putting together their March/April issue that will focus on parenting teens. She's getting articles together and wondering if you have any friends who are parenting teens who would want to write something or be interviewed about their experiences.
Here are a couple of the specific topics they are looking to address:
- Parenting teens and their children -- how do you help foster teens learn to become parents and not repeat the cycle
- What is unique about parenting teens
- What works for disciplining teens
- How do you build a relationship with a teen when they come to you so much later
- Preparing teens for after care -- what do they need to know to live in the adult world...helping them get into college, find jobs, etc.
The deadline for articles if people would like to write is Jan. 6 and articles are typically 1,200 words in length. If you know someone who would be willing to do an interview please contact:
Also, if there are any foster teens/young adults who would like to share their perspective that would be great as well.
