Parenting Teens

The Thoughtful Christian has recently published 19 short-term studies that help parents and concerned adults wrestle with the issues teens deal with and how to parent them. Each study includes a 3-4 page essay followed by suggestions for how to address the issue with teens, questions for parents to consider alone, and questions for group discussion. Topics include bullying, homework, cheating, listening, parenting in a text-messaging world, and many, many more.
You can subscribe to The Thoughtful Christian or purchase individual sessions. They are truly worthy of a look if you want current, up to date information on a wide variety of topics and issues.

It's a blank slate - help fill it!

As this blog begins to take shape, I would like to know what would YOU like to see here. So far I'm thinking info on newest resources, creative ways to use what we already have, suggestions for what would be helpful additions to our collection, discussion of a topic, season, etc., perhaps a list of the VBS curriculum churches are using so if possible you can share props and ideas...
What would you like to see?
