Teens who feel connected to parents grow up to be healthier adults, study shows

It may get difficult at times, but a new study from the Cleveland Clinic Children's said the more connected kids feel to their parents and teachers when they're growing up, the healthier they'll be as adults. Teens need to learn through trial and error, and that means letting them fail, but in a safe environment. Finding that balance can be tricky for parents when it feels like their kids are pushing away from them. But that doesn't mean they should give up trying to connect with them.
