Parenting Through The Stages #8 | 18's and over

Join Ed, Pete, Mark and Kate as they discuss life at the 18th year of parenting and beyond.  Mark and Kate are knee-deep in this parenting stage and Pete Dray works with students for UCCF as the Director of Creative Evangelism and has some helpful steers to Christian parents charting these tricky waters.People: Ed Drew - Director of FIKPete Dray - Director of Creative EvangelismMark & Kate - Parents of 4 children, 3 of whom are just in or beyond the 18+ mark.Quote from Kate:'I can't value highly enough the intergenerational relationships and friendships that our children have. I get great joy if I see my children at church talking to older adults in the service. A way of supporting each other in our parenting is by talking to other teenagers and kids, being interested in them. I know my children love it when other people come to talk to them and that then gives grounds for support, advice, wisdom - it just slips into the conversation in a really natural, easy way.'Purchase our Latest Book:The book Meals with Jesus from Faith in Kids in partnership with The Good Book Company can be ordered here (https://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/meals-with-jesus).Pre-order our new Christmas book coming in time for December 2021:If you're unfamiliar with the world of publishing, just to let you know, orders are of course fab and we've made this to help you and your kids know Christ eternally, but pre-orders REALLY help with at the publishing end!
