"Netflix and chill," "broccoli," and LGBTTQQIAAP+. If you don't know what these words and phrases really mean to your teen, you are not alone. The verbal terrain of today's youth can be difficult to navigate, and sometimes requires a guide--a culture translator to help parents of teens decipher the codes and unlock the doors to an ongoing conversation about faith and life.
David Eaton provides just that in Engaging Your Teen's World , teaching you how to maintain open communication about everything from relationships to technology and media in order to help teens grow in their faith and successfully deal with difficult issues. Eaton brings a wealth of frontline experience, sharing a big-picture view of your teen's world and how to interact with it, followed by more specific information on
- what your teen is thinking, doing, and watching
- conversations about sex, gender, porn, sexting, and drugs
- being a missionary to your teen
- and much more
Despite the many challenges facing teens and their parents, this frank, insightful, and practical book offers a hopeful view toward the long-term goals of your relationship with your teen and for their relationship with the Lord.
