 Encouraging you to eat right. I'm registered dietitian Sylvia Escott-Stump with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. You're never completely ready to adopt a teen. For late nights writing English papers. For your teen's music taste. For dinners where they talk more on their phone than with you. For the first time, they call you mom. You're never completely ready to adopt a teen. And you can't imagine the reward.
