Teenagers - Teen Issues

Okay, raising teenagers is a whole new ballgame! I admit it. Something happened to our redheads when they became TEENS and I’m thinking "Who’s child IS this?!!" -- It's like their brains turned into mush or I mine did....not sure which (probably both)!

Somehow, with God’s grace and LOTS of prayer, we made it through some tough patches, some very scary times, and some wonderfully fun times.

For parents, caregivers, and friends, keeping our red heads safe, no matter their age, is a constant concern. We worry when they go out alone, when learning to drive, out with their friends,...you name it! The good news is that 'knowledge is power' --- so I’ve assembled several topics of interest to hopefully give you some tools and valuable resources.
