If you are like me, you cannot wait until those children from children’ church become old enough to enter the youth ministry. As excited as you are about those future souls you get to teach and influence is probably as nervous as those parents of those children are to watch their children become teens. Truth is parents are intimidated to become parents of teenagers. There have been too many parents-of-teenagers jokes, news stories, legendary stories, etc., to feed this fear. To add to this fear we now live in this crazy, technological, and fast-paced world—a world which their child is way more adept with than they are. For so many reasons, parents think they have lost what “training up a child” means when their child becomes a teen. When kids were younger, parent and child could pray together at bedtime, maybe read Bible stories together. But how do you do this with a teen? How do you do this with a teen who doesn’t like you in his/her bedroom? This is the intimidation parents feel.
