Things to consider for ages 13-18
Many adoptive parents have their hands full dealing with challenges that are right in front of them. But sometimes, parents aren’t aware of issues that might sneak up on them (such as cholesterol in a young child), or of things they should be dealing with proactively (such as teaching resilience or not assuming an excessively compliant child has no challenges). Below we cross-link some articles from the other categories that might be particularly relevant if your child is between the ages of 13 and 18. Other articles may also apply, so please browse the categories or use the search bar with the tag Ages 13-18.
