There are different stages of Life, and each one brings a series of blessing and challenges. For those who are currently dealing with being parents to teenagers or young adults, the difficulties may seem to outweigh the blessings.

Finding work is particularly challenging at the moment, especially for young people that lack work experience. Tom ONeil has some more practical advice on how to support and encourage our kids as they look for work.
