Parenthood: Teaching Teens Honor and Respect
A 7-day journey to guide parents in teaching teens about authority, honor, and respect during rebellious seasons.
📖 Introduction
Parenting teens is both a blessing and a challenge, especially when it comes to teaching honor and respect. In a world that often encourages rebellion and self-sufficiency, guiding teenagers to understand authority can feel daunting. This study aims to equip parents with biblical wisdom and practical insights to navigate this critical season.
Authority is not merely about rules; it’s about nurturing a heart that honors God and others. Teens need to see that respect emerges from understanding God's design for relationships, including the sacred role of parents, teachers, and leaders. Scripture reminds us that honoring parents is foundational to a healthy life (Ephesians 6:1-3). But teaching honor in a rebellious age requires gentleness, patience, and clear communication.
Through these seven days, we explore how to model authority God's way, address rebellion with grace, and foster environments where teens feel loved yet accountable. This journey is not just for correction, but for building lifelong character and respect grounded in Christ. Let's embark on this path of discovering how to parent teens with wisdom and love, giving them a firm foundation to stand upon in a rebellious culture.
