Parents corner!

Psalm 27:3 tells us that, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.”

If you are a new parent, you may be thinking about how much work the young years are and you may have anxiety thinking about the teen years. When my children were young, I was exhausted and overwhelmed with daily life. As they got older, I got more sleep and they became more independent, I started to worry about “those teen years”. I have two teens now and I have to say it’s not so bad. I still feel overwhelmed at times but I enjoy the friendships and more meaningful conversations I get to have with them. This past year I have struggled to stay connected with my teens even while spending more time with them. If you are struggling with these things as well, I want to encourage you that you are not alone. Family Life author Lisa Lakey gives six ways to connect with your teen and they are applicable to children of all ages. For the full article go to https://www.familylife.com/articles/topics/parenting/ages-and-stages/teens/6-things-to-do-with-teenagers-to-love-them-well/

1. Make room in your calendar for them. Pencil them into your planner so there is specific time to do fun things. Watch a movie, play a game, take a walk.

2. Get to know them again. Here are some great questions to get the conversation started

What is the hardest part of being a teen?
What do you think adults misunderstand about your generation?
What’s one thing you wish our family did more of?
What’s one thing you wish our family did less of?

3. Don’t forget to treat them like kids every now and then. It's a strange time between childhood and young adulthood, don’t forget the childhood favorites.

4. Get to know their friends.

5. Give them space. Your teen is trying to figure out who they are.

6. Pray for and with your teen. Pray time is revealing and a special time to connect with your teen.
