Every teenager is different, but anything you can do to connect to their world is helpful and know that you really can't control or fix them, but you can make a big difference by giving them the tools to lead a happy and successful life.

Forget about trying to control every aspect of your teen's life; Carter stresses that it's about giving them the right tools to navigate their own paths.
