Parenting is a tough job, and it doesn't get any easier as your child grows older. The teenage years are particularly challenging, with many parents finding themselves at a loss as they try to navigate their child's changing moods, behaviors, and attitudes. One key to successfully parenting a 13-year-old is active consistency. In this guide, we'll explore what active consistency means, why it's important, and how you can put it into practice.

It requires parents to be thoughtful, intentional, and flexible as they navigate the ever-changing landscape of adolescence.
