If your child is already a teenager then your days with them are numbered.  It won’t be long until your teen strikes out on his or her own.  At that point your relationships changes.  I don’t say this to be a Debbie Downer.  I want you to be intentional with your time.  I want you to thoroughly enjoy the time you have left with your kids living at home with you.

Helping teens grow and families improve connection,
