Worried about your kids? How you're going to raise them? How to deal with the drama of girls, and yes, even the guys...? Worried about YOU? Then this is a great, informational book for you! Made especially for parents of pre-teens and teens. It is faith-based and has pages of biblical backing to help you.
“Everyday your child is bombarded by highly sexualized culture and over-exposed to words and images that can influence them beyond your reach. Your connection to them during these years is critical as is your response to tough issues such as appearance, performance, authority and respect, boundaries, and many more.” It's hard to know how to act in intense situations, or learn how to control our own emotions. This book will give you a better sense, a better grip, a better understanding.
I would recommend this book not only for parents, but also for youth ministers.
I enjoyed this book. Mark's practical insights and strategies are game changers.
