INVEST IN OUR TEENAGERS

Respect the teenagers and listen to their ideas. In doing this, you are building up their self esteem.

Invest in the teenagers and you will be able to preserve your legacy. The safety of the future lies in the maturity and safety of the teenagers.

Pay attention to the moods of the teenagers for their silence speaks a million words.

Correct the teenagers but don't condemn. Rebuke teenagers but stop rejecting them. Never you amplify their mistakes above their safety.

Always remember, we all make mistakes that is not intentional. In the same light, pay attention to the struggles behind a teenagers mistakes.

Being an adult does not imply being domineering, and manipulative. Some times, give the teenagers a chance to explore their own ideas.

Lying to a teenager will make the teenager to lie to you some day. They always do what they see you do.

He is not just a teenager; there is a father, leader and husband trapped in the heart of that teenager. Lay good examples for Him.

Don't just tell the teenagers what to do, show them how it's done and most importantly, let them benefit from the result of it.

Every teenager is special and unique. Trying to compare one with another is like comparing a goat with a cat. Treat them as an individual personality.

Talk and treat that teenager as an adult intellectually and spiritually. In doing these, he or she will drop childish behaviour.

Never you make any teenager feel they are too young to ask any questions irrespective of any topic they bring up. The fact he or she asked you shows a level of respect for you. Be sincere and offer that teenager a healthy answer to his or her questions. If you turn that teenager down, they will get their answers from the wrong source.

Respect every teenager verbally, physically, emotionally, socially, and financially.

Listen more to the teenagers. Be more eager to listen to ideas and suggestions. Pay attention to understand them first before you speak.

Trying to treat the teenagers as if they are still existing in your own days as a teenager years back is frustrating. Stop using the word "when I was your age."

Every teenager have a unique dream. Pay attention to it and stop imposing your own dream or expectations on this teenagers.

Teenagers! You Belong to God

Have you ever wondered what it truly means to belong—to be seen, known, and loved without conditions? John 1:12 says, “Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” Think about that for a moment.
