Preteen

Finding the right gifts for teens isn't easy—but teens and tweens on your list will crack smiles when they open one of these trendy, thoughtful presents.

And I'm totally fine with that.

You could keep nagging and reminding your kids of their responsibilities. Or, you could let the natural consequence of their actions teach them something.

Preteens need to start to separating from their parents so they can figure out who they are. This can be incredibly hard for moms and dads.

Don't be jealous. Your day is coming. And when it does, your friends' kids will be smelly, hormonal, door-slamming teenagers.
