I think about parenting all the time & would like to know I'm not the only one. :)<br /><br />And it looks like I WON'T be the only one when I retire in my adorable little camper ready to live on the bare essentials.

I am currently reading Age of Opportunity, and like Kari, I'd love to know what someone with actual teenagers thinks about the material in the book.<br /><br />I just finished reading Give Them Grace. Wow. It might be the most impacting book I've read, parenting or otherwise. It certainly speaks to the idea of what happens when our parenting/children don't turn out the way we've envisioned.<br /><br />I'd love to hear any of your thoughts on teens, Holly!<br /><br />Jenn in NHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1193225017879543369.post-27008008011741743902011-10-31T14:31:52.740-05:002011-10-31T14:31:52.740-05:00Oh - yes! yes! yes! on the teens...though I haven&...Oh - yes! yes! yes! on the teens...though I haven't a lot to add to a conversation yet, since the oldest is only 12.5...but this is much on my "radar"! <br /><br />Have you ever read Age Of Opportunity by Paul Tripp in regard to teens? I've been curious to know what someone who actually *has* teens thinks of the book as far as application goes. I've found it very challenging but helpful - and needful.<br /><br />And no, I don't think it works like that, either. I would like for it to! But so many of Mark's clients these past ten years have been homeschooling families - both adolescents and their parents - who have suddenly found it *doesn't* work that way sometimes in the worst ways. Unfortunately, not only were many of them not prepared, many of them have *no* support in churches and the homeschool community because their "pat" answers aren't/weren't working and no one else was prepared, either!<br /><br />And I am completely in love with that little trailer!!! Who knows...if we can't find something we can afford to rent when it's time to move officially, maybe we'll just pile into one of those! It may be bigger than some of the homes we've seen! ;)Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331153136464268351noreply@blogger.com
