Parents are needed

A good reminder came across my screen this morning that I am going to pass on to our parents, "Study Shows Parents Still Affect Children's Behavior." From the article,

"Adolescents are often very effective at convincing us that what we say is irrelevant to their lives, and the mistake we make as adults is that we turn around and we believe it," said Resnick, a father of two. But to a large extent, the study found, the health and well-being of teen-agers "still rests in that strong feeling of being cared for by parents," Resnick said."

May we, who work with students, be reminded that we are coming alongside families in their pursuit of helping their kids become faithful followers of Jesus Christ. May God give us the wisdom to know how to partner with them. I believe we are stronger together!
