Teen pregnancy and parenting remain an important public health issue in the United States and the world, and many children live with their adolescent parents alone or as part of an extended family. A significant proportion of teen parents reside with their family of origin, significantly affecting the multigenerational family structure. Repeated births to teen parents are also common.

Challenges unique to teen parents and their children are reviewed, along with suggestions for the pediatrician on models for intervention and care. Pediatrics 2012;130:e1743–e1756
