Are you the mother or father of a struggling son or daughter?

Most teenage problems are caused by hormones, immaturity, and brain development. So if your son or daughter is going through a rough time, here’s some good news: it’s just a phase!  And it won’t last forever.

In the midst of the turmoil, continue to reach toward your teen with love and grace, even when they don’t deserve it. And over time, your relationship will change for the better.

Remember, God never gives up on us, even though we constantly blow it. Instead, He gives grace. As parents, we must be willing to do the same.

Mom, Dad, make it crystal clear to your teen, “I will never, ever give up on you, no matter what!”
