Teens with CF need to be educated about care and medical information. The problem is, they are less likely to listen to parents, especially if it comes through like a lecture.
Wise parents find other ways to teach their teens including getting help from their medical team, other trusted adults, and from "teen friendly" CF resources. Having teens speak to teens, and model good care habits, is another good way to help teach your teen. Here are some video resources to help you.
