Parenting Tip # 207

Watch your child carefully to make sure he is meeting his top priorities, and help him make adjustments if necessary. For instance, midweek youth group meetings and discipleship groups can be very important to the spiritual growth of our children. If your teen is too busy with other activities, then it may be time to review all that the child is doing and trim some of the fat from his schedule so he can go to church.
