Parenting Chapter 4: Parenting Tweens and Teens

This chapter of the Parenting Handbook contains eight articles and is 26 pages. This chapter considers how to guide older children through their Tween and Teen years. The transition to adulthood begins with puberty and extends through adolescence, and is marked by a lot of mixed signals. Sometimes they are children and adults at the same time. We as parents have to navigate giving up control in appropriate amounts. We remain in the role of providing, pruning, and protecting, but more and more collaboratively with our children as they find their own place as citizens of God’s kingdom.
