Your teen's world has widened and expanded to include interests, activities and friends far outside your immediate family. There is so much to explore and experience. As your son or daughter puts away the things of childhood, they often need the touch of your love and your support as they venture forth on their journey exercising independence. Rites of passage and spiritual milestones can be accompanied by symbolic gifts that bespeak the sacredness of your teenager. Celebrate their uniqueness, inspire them to follow their dreams and embolden them when fear takes hold.
