If your continue teaching your teens the way you are presently, will they be prepared to launch out on their own after graduation?

What are your goals with your teens, in regards to equipping them with the skills that they need to survive on their own?

I know as a parent that sometimes this job you have undertaken seems so overwhelming. There is so much to do and these kids didn’t come with an instruction manual. Often we get so caught up in the urgent things of day-to-day life – get the kids to practice and games, get dinner on the table, make sure schoolwork is done – that we put off the important teaching of life skills.

As parents of five kids we have been there. Some days it seems like all we do is run from one event to another. But we also know that if we aren’t intentional with our teaching and goals for our children, they won’t receive this training elsewhere. The schools aren’t teaching it. So it is up to us, as parents, to ensure that they are prepared for life in the real world.

We want to come alongside and help you!
