Notes and Quotes:
-
“I will tell you that raising teens has brought me to my knees. And really in those moments when I’m outside their ‘doors’ that [my teens] don’t want to let me in, knowing that Jesus is on the other side. . . somehow He with them and still with me on the other side of that door.” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt
-
“What I’m holding onto [when raising my teens], and what’s working for us, is this: Is every move going to keep me in connection and in relationship with my teenager?” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt
-
“If we are trying to teach [our teens] about being in relationships with others, there [are] consequences if you don’t live up to what you say you’re going to do. But it’s really involving them in the situation, because different situations call for different things.” —Amy Betters-Midtvedt
