Parenting Teens

The teenage years. Nothing can compare! Oh, the challenges. But the joys can be great as we share this "growing up" time with our children. Below you will find various kinds of help and encouragement: articles, forums, books and more. 

Pray for understanding and wisdom. Pray for your teen. Remember that God loves your child even more than you do. Ask Him to help you know when to take a stand—and when to step back. Ask Him for wisdom and strength as you guide your teen to become all that God has designed him or her to be.
