Change your shirt before you leave, you tell your son, but he explodes.
You don't care about me! This is my favorite shirt! You're always criticizing me!
Or, you walk in to find your daughter sobbing and ask, What s wrong, honey?
I don t know! she wails.
They climb on an emotional rollercoaster and invite you to join them.
Don t get a ticket for that ride.

Hormones are flowing. Things are changing. Emotions are high.
School is a struggle, all of a sudden.
And spiritual questions pop up where there were none before.
THE STAKES ARE HIGH

If you can get through the preteen years with your relationship intact, though, the teen years tend to get better and better.
Lay a foundation to make the teen years great!
HERE'S HELP
Practical help. Real encouragement. Just what you need to cope with emotional meltdowns, motivate them to get school done, answer their spiritual questions, and most of all, protect your relationship with your eight to fourteen year olds.
