Preteens, Teens, and their Parents

  Lucile Packard Children's Hospital knows that raising children of any age is challenging; however, we realize that our community's preteen and teen populations pose a very specific set of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs which are often times unrecogized and overlooked.  For this reason, Packard Children's provides extra resources specifically for our preteens, teens, and their parents.
