Age of Opportunity

Teenage hassles that disrupt parents' lives? Or prime opportunity to connect with, listen to, and nurture our kids? From the argument over the last donut, to the cry of "nothing to wear," Paul Tripp uncovers the heart issues affecting parents and their teenagers during the often chaotic adolescent years. With wit, wisdom, humility, and compassion, he shows parents how to seize the countless opportunities to deepen communication, learn, and grow with their teenagers. The teenage years are often viewed by parents as a period to be survived. This book departs from that mentality and describes these tumultuous years as years of boundless possibilities and promise. It will give you biblical wisdom, goals, and strategies for parenting during this often trying phase of life. Parents of younger children are also strongly encouraged to read the book. The teaching on sin, discipline, and gospel application are crucial for even the earliest “age of opportunity” in the raising of our children.
