Guiding Teenagers Through the Turbulent Waters of Adolescence
$8.00—Bring your Bible!
Raising kids through their adolescent years is like guiding your family in a raft through whitewater rapids. The role of the guide on such a trip is vital. No one would want to take a whitewater trip without a capable guide. Because every parent has taken this trip before, parents can be encouraged because they know the journey already.
As parent and guide, you know the dangers that lie ahead for your teenager. You know the unseen, destructive forces that lie just below the surface. By trusting in God, by having faith in Him, you can find confident assurance amid turbulent waters.
The adolescent years can be the best years in a family if parent and teen draw closer together and build an even stronger relationship of trust and encouragement. Your teenager does not want you to be a teenager. Your teen wants you to be the parent. Parents need to be firm yet understanding and encouraging as teens test their boundaries and search for significance.
