Do you know what goes on in your teen’s world?  Do you know what they face everyday?

You and I see our kids before school, in between activities… maybe at the dinner table.  But there’s a lot of time that passes when they’re out of our sight.  And, if mom and dad aren’t vigilant about getting to know a teen’s world… they’ll miss a whole portion of life for that kid!

The more you understand about what your teen faces… what he loves and hates about his world… and the circumstances in front of him… the more you’ll have a compassionate heart toward him.  Your understanding allows space for the relationship to grow.

So, mom and dad, here’s a homework assignment for ya.  Get to know what’s really going on!
