Youth Parent Cue

HOW WE’RE CONNECTING

August 8 & 9

READ THIS

You never win an argument if you lose the relationship.

James 1:19 NIV

THINK ABOUT THIS

This week we’re talking about what it looks like for students to think outside of their point of view and to put relationships over winning an argument. This can be a real challenge for teenagers to put into practice, but introducing this for them to be aware of is helpful.

REMEMBER THIS

“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”

James 1:19b NIV

DO THIS

At this stage it can feel like we are living parallel lives to our teens. So next time your teen asks for money for gas or if they can pick up some ice cream, try saying: “Yes! Mind if I go with you?” Look for an opportunity to connect and maybe go the extra mile. Pay to have the car washed, splurge for the larger ice cream. Use a small but tangible way to show them you are on their team.
