Parent or Peer??

Great article from from NBC17.com about the care that must be extended to your relationship with your teen.  It is all to often I encounter a parent, most often a single mom, who has blurred the boundaries with her teenager (usually a daughter).  As the article notes, this unhealthy behavior can create all types of problems such as:

• Discipline Difficulties
• Inappropriate parental self-disclosure
• Impaired peer functioning
