Parents, it's never easy when your child goes from a loving tween who asks you to come to all their ball games to a too-cool teen that never wants to be seen with you in public. Don't take it personally. We'd like to think it's all just part of growing up.

Your teen might ask you to keep a healthy 10-foot distance when the "cool kids" are around, but underneath it all they still really love you. Even if they never look up from their cellphone or say those three words anymore. Promise.

You know your teenager loves you when _________________.
