Teenage is the most complex of all the stages of life. We all know for obvious reasons why is it so. A child thinks he is an adult now, and a parent thinks he is still a little boy.

We think we have covered a lot, and we keep adding every day, but in case you want to read about something specific and you don’t find our website, feel free to write to us at info@drdad.in , and we will write it for you.
