Here’s an idea to connect with your son: show him your high school yearbook.

First, let him make fun of your outdated haircut and clothes. Show him the picture of your basketball team, and the page where it says you were voted class clown.

Next, show him pictures of your friends. Talk about what friendships ended and which ones have lasted through the years.

And finally, talk about the power of choices. Be honest about what you’re proud of and what you regret. Share about your relationship with your own parents at that time. Show your son how God used both the good and the bad for His own glory in your life. After all, as the verse in Revelation reminds us, we overcome through the word of our testimony.
