Today’s teenagers are facing immense challenges and we, as their parents and grandparents, have the tall and noble task of helping them navigate these rough waters—all while tackling our own challenge of how to understand what is going on in their world. This one-day conference will give a roadmap to help you understand your teenager (or future teenager) and help him/her tackle life’s big issues with wisdom and grace.
We are encouraging parents and grandparents of all ages to attend this conference because, even if your kids aren’t teenagers yet, Lord willing they will be one day and we want you to be prepared.
All of this great information (and snacks!) and the conference only costs $5 per adult and $2 per child (for child care)!
Registration deadline: Registration for the conference closed on Wednesday, October 21. We will be recording the sessions and will make those available after the conference.
Teenagers are growing up in a very different world than even the previous generation. They are in transition between childhood and adulthood. They are seeking autonomy and at the same time still quite dependent on their family. In this seminar we will explore “Who is that stranger in your house?” and talk about what they are going through in life. We will look at how to be a more effective parent and how to connect with our kids in this important stage in life. We will look at the issues of:
Sexuality
Ending the homework hassle
Peer pressure
Rules and boundaries
Bringing out the best in our teens
Choosing which battles to fight
Raising teens to be responsible adults
And much more
This seminar won’t give you all the answers but will be a wonderful road map to help successfully guide your kids through the rough waters of adolescence.
We are encouraging parents and grandparents of all ages to attend this conference because, even if your kids aren’t teenagers yet, Lord willing they will be one day and we want you to be prepared.
