Parenting with Purpose

Insight on Growing Up from Two Teenagers


Listen Later

In this candid episode, Connie and Christy interview their teenagers—Jayden and Emily—who are both high school seniors about to graduate, giving honest perspectives on what it was like growing up in their homes. The teens share what they appreciated (family encouragement, supportive presence at events, open homes for friends) and what was challenging (unspoken comparison between siblings, different standards for oldest vs. youngest, pressure as pastor's kids), while offering advice to parents of younger children about limiting media, committing to team activities, and creating a safe space for honest conversation. Their reflections remind parents to give grace to their kids, be consistent yet flexible, and help teenagers develop a strong identity in Christ as they prepare for the next chapter of life.
