“Navigating Paths for Teenagers”
Synopsis:
“Children are a gift of God”, it has often been said. But when our children become teenagers, parents wonder whether God has an exchange policy” so said the parent of a teenager jokingly. Adolescence happens upon parents so suddenly & so subtly, that many parents find themselves in a situation, which makes no sense to them. They just hope it will go away. This talk seeks to give parents a better appreciation of what is happening in their families, especially the lives of their children, so that they can be supportive of their children during these transitional years, and to enjoy a deeper and richer relationship with their children.
Outline:

“By the time your children hit puberty, you are wrestling not only with the will of your children, but with the raging hormones.”
