Are you a parent of a teen? You have an incredibly important and incredibly challenging calling!

In all the challenges you face as a parent, never lose perspective on the primary role God has called you to. As a mom or dad, you’re called to lead your children from total dependency at birth to independency at the end of their teenage years.

Your parenting style will change as your son and daughter ages. And these adjustments must fall in line with your child’s maturation process otherwise, he’ll end up frustrated. He’ll either want more freedom, or he won’t be prepared to handle life’s challenges.

It’s an easy task, but its an important one. And you’re just the parent to do it!
