Class Composition: Adult Co-ed (Parents of teens/pre-teens)

Overview: Through personal, real-world experiences of research and sharing, in the Sticky Faith Parent Curriculum, Kara Powell, Ph.D., presents powerful strategies and practical ideas to help parents encourage their children's spiritual growth, enabling them to develop a faith that sticks. Includes five 20-minute video sessions, interviews with students and parents, and discussion questions for groups.  Parent of two grown children and 20+ year veteran youth Sunday School teacher, Lee Forrest, will facilitate the conversation.

​This course is great for any parent, even parents of young children, but especially for parents of teens and pre-teens.  Co-author Chap Clark had children 23, 26, and 29 years old at the time of the writing.  Powell's children were much younger and she wrote, "My three children are five, nine, and eleven years old, and our research impacts the way my husband and I parent every day."

​A virtual link will be made available and all are encouraged to invite friends and family (virtually or in-person) whom you feel may benefit from this course.

99 Thoughts for Parents of Teenagers
by Walt Mueller
Click here to order
**A free copy of this book is available to all of our youth parents**
“If you’re the parent of a teenager, you need all the help you can get. How do you help your children make wise choices? How do you give your teenagers freedom to make their own choices while still providing a guiding hand? How do you invest your time and energy in ways that make an eternal difference in your children’s lives?

Should I Just Smash My Kid's Phone?  How to empower your kids to make good choices and develop responsibility... Without losing your mind!
by Doug Fields & Jonathan McKee
Click here to order
Today's parents wonder, "Why isn't my kid more responsible?" Or they'll say, ""I wish my child were better at decision making!"" Unfortunately kids aren't born with those skills... they're waiting for their parents to be their primary teachers.  And that is no easy task! The job of a parent is extremely difficult... and yet so very important. 
Today's kids have so much power and freedom contained in the small phone they keep in their pocket... and they're encountering distractions unlike any previous generation. In a culture where children are too old too soon, parents don't want to overreact, but they are desperate for some realistic and fair guidelines. They're asking: 
  • "Is it okay to check my daughter's text messages?" 
  • "How long is too long for my son to spend on his social networking site each day?" 
  • "Can I change or adjust rules for each of my kids, depending on their personality and struggles? My daughter is nothing like my son!" 
  • "My 11-year-old wants a phone, and literally all her friends have one. Should I buy her one?"
Don't worry... you're not alone!  Dive into this extremely practical guide and learn how to...
  • Teach your kids lasting values that shape their decisions.
  • Empower your kids with age appropriate freedom while equipping them to make decisions on their own.
  • Implement some fair and realistic "guardrails" keeping our kids from veering off course.
  • Get your kids to come up with their own consequences to irresponsible behavior.

"What keeps me coming back to youth is first of all our amazing youth pastor. Jonathan is very nice and plans lots of fun activities, and we always enjoy them. We also have some amazing youth helpers that do a great job teaching us about the word of Jesus. It's such a friendly environment. It's a great group of friends to be with and hang around with. Everything is a lot of fun and very exiting!  ~Braden, 11th Grade
