Acting on What You Believe

Parenting Today's Teens

About

Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd discuss why it’s essential for parents to live out their core beliefs while raising teens. Parents need to know which values are nonnegotiable and hold firm, while also allowing flexibility as their children grow and form their own perspectives. Conflict is inevitable, but it can lead to meaningful dialogue and deeper understanding when handled well. The key is moving from lectures to conversations, listening carefully, and discerning when to bend and when to stand strong.

Is your teen struggling? Mark’s residential counseling program may be able to help. Learn more at heartlightministries.org.
