Parenting Teens With Grace

Remember, Giving Grace is…
Most often needed when it is least deserved
Doesn’t directly benefit the giver
Can be misunderstood by others
Doesn’t enable bad behavior to continue
Is best when it is offered at just the right time
Comes from a desire for a new direction, understanding your child’s heart, and his need to be restored.We are never more like Christ than when we give our teen grace in the face of a struggle. And, giving grace when it surely is not deserved may change the direction of the struggle, or even bring it to an end.
