Have you noticed that being a grandparent changes when children become teens? Adolescence is a time of rapid growth in how a teen looks, acts, thinks, and feels. With this growth, teenagers begin to need different things out of life. You may need to change your grandparenting style in order to meet the new needs of your teenagers. You might feel like you don't know them anymore, but don't be alarmed--the changes are usually normal.
