Keeping Kids Healthy: Teen Pregnancy: What Can A Parent Do?

Did you know that fully a THIRD of all girls become pregnant while they're still in their teens? If that happens to your daughter, or if your teenaged son comes home and announces that he's going to be a father, there will be plenty of information available to help them figure out what to do; but it's going to be extremely hard for you, the parent, to find guidance about how you should react!

Meet two families who have worked their way successfully through teen pregnancy, and listen to the advisers, including the parents, who have helped them keep their families and relationships intact. You'll learn how to maintain the greatest possible influence over your child's decisions, you'll find out what the limits really are, and you'll wind up as prepared as you can possibly be, to handle one of the greatest child-rearing challenges you're ever likely to face.

Guests:

Amy Morris became pregnant at 19; Jane Daniels, Amy's mother (who had become pregnant with Amy at 19); Deborah Williams, became pregnant at 16, and then again at 17; Juanita Richardson, Deborah's mother
