Helping Teens Develop Their Purpose

from Parenting Today's Teens

A teen’s purpose isn’t discovered in a single moment or from sitting at home; it unfolds through exposure, experience and exploration. In today's show, we explore how parents play a vital role by expanding their teen’s world, encouraging curiosity, and allowing them to try, fail and grow without forcing a fixed path too early. Purpose develops as teens engage in real-world experiences, learn resilience and discover what they’re capable of beyond comfort and familiarity. The goal isn’t to decide their future for them, but to help them discover who God created them to be and what’s possible for their lives.Are you struggling with your teen? Join Mark in Texas at one of his Families in Crisis Conferences, which are designed to help you get to a better place.
