It's all too easy for parents to be sidetracked right when their children need them most -- during the teenage years.  Fact is, parents need to spend more time with their children when they reach adolescence, not less. Unfortunately, this is also the time when the kids get busy with school, sports and youth group activities, and parents are at the peak of their careers.  A busy, stressed-out parent may not only ignore their teenager, but when their teen makes mistakes (and they will), the parent may respond in ways that don’t always convey unconditional love.  Walls go up in their relationship and suddenly the teenager and parent become strangers.
