The world has changed a lot since the identification of the adolescent phase of development.  So how do we best understand teens today (within a Biblical worldview)?

Training our children how to relate to siblings, friends, and enemies is an essential activity of the Christian parent.

What do you do with a rebellious child?  You must first recognize the primary cause and goal of your child’s rebellion!

How do we parent our children who are so highly impacted by all sorts of video screens and entertainment technology?

How do we parent the child who is extremely shy or socially anxious?  Is this a mental disorder, or a sinful heart condition that needs to be changed?

Disciplining our children Biblically must have as its primary goal the production of self-discipline, for the glory of God.

Is one of your primary goals to give your child a strong work ethic?  Laziness and apathy should never characterize a follower of Jesus Christ.

Children who are treated like snowflakes do not function well in this world.  How do we raise resilient children Biblically?

Is honesty really the best policy?  Or is total honesty in our children not an important goal for parents?  We better consult the God of Truth on this one!

Children who chronically whine and complain are annoying.  Yet, the bigger problem is that they are establishing habits of discontentedness and manipulation that are hard to break.
