Ear to the Ground: Parent Newsletter
Hello parents!
In effort to keep you informed about the world your student lives in, so you can have a greater understanding of their world and to, perhaps, stimulate discussion around your dinner table, I thought it would be a great idea to produce a newsletter.
I believe that the choices, challenges, pressures and expectations teens face today leave a deep and lasting impression on who they are, who they will become, and whether or not they think they matter! To help them sort it all it out, they really need parents who understand them and their world better than they do. The learning curve is steep but I believe it's really important to hang on and climb it anyway!
As Pastor Rick has told me many times, “the greatest hindrance to tomorrow's success is today's success.” What may have worked for us when we were teens, may not work for today's teens and I'm not sure it's a journey all parents are prepared for . . .are you ready for the challenge? Let's dive in and learn what we can. You may end up with more questions but at least we'll have some fun learning together and I believe God will bless you for your efforts.
