The adults who are investing in them by leading small groups and such are really enjoying being with the teens as well. The teens seem to struggle when its their own parents most. <br /><br />The biggest obstacle I've seen is when we tell them that their parents are invited/need/are going to be part of an event, they (the teens) seem to think that the event will no longer be good or worth it, that their parents will ruin the event, whether devotionally focused or fun. I try to encourage them to just be a part and not focus on their kids by picking another couple of kids to invest in for the night. This seems to put everyone at ease to some extent. Although it is not a perfect approach, it does seem to ease the student's and parent's mind a bit.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing other's thoughts and ideas.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02653975184066060845noreply@blogger.com
