What Every Parent Should Know We talk a lot about how to keep your children healthy, and signs and symptoms of illness. But, could you also use some assistance with parenting? Is your preteen beginning to test his boundaries? Don’t wait until you’re in a crisis to seek help. Help is a phone call away TeenLine is a 24-hour automated information and referral service with more than 125 taped messages on a variety of subjects, including sexuality, physical health, emotional concerns, drugs, tobacco, and where you and your teen can go for help. Taped messages can be heard by dialing 521-TEEN (8336) on Oahu and toll-free from the neighbor islands at 877-521-TEEN. Peer Listeners, who are trained teen volunteers, are available weekdays 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. to answer questions by phone or e-mail (teenline@kapiolani.org).
