Have you ever gone through an exercise craze? You worked out every day for a while and started looking really buff, lean and mean. But as soon as you stopped … well, everything went downhill.

Hi, I’m Mark Gregston … with Parenting Today’s Teens.

Now, I’m not here to give you exercise tips. But I see a big parallel between strength training and life training. Many parents believe that the lessons and principles they taught their kids during their elementary years will carry them through adolescence, into high school, and beyond.

But that’s simply not the case. You have to stay in training mode the entire time! Never stop!

Remember, exercise over a lifetime yields results. Not little spurts here and there. So continue to train your child in godliness and wisdom as they grow into adults.
