Mon 27 Oct 2025 Learning & Growing Up

There are different stages of Life, and each one brings a series of blessing and challenges. For those who are currently dealing with being parents to teenagers or young adults, the difficulties may seem to outweigh the blessings.   Kristin Ward from the Parenting Place gives some advice and practical tips on how to stay connected with grumpy teens, how to lean in when they are pulling back.   Finding work is particularly challenging at the moment, especially for young people that lack work experience. Tom ONeil has some more practical advice on how to support and encourage our kids as they look for work.   Learning and growing isn’t just for the young. Dr Myk Habets from Laidlaw College encourages us to be lifelong learners, not just spiritually but also engaging our brains on a variety of current issues.   As always, we’d love to get your thoughts & comments on any of these issues.
