Conversations Worth Having

Is your preteen going through some changes right now? One day they’re seeking your reassurance and good night hugs, the next day they’re aloof, demanding their independence, and announcing how much you don’t know about their world. 

Having a preteen or teen can feel like an emotional roller coaster as you’re left wondering which version of your child is going to show up. And, as with any new phase of life, parents learn that we have to adjust how we relate to them.  

Whether it’s friendships, academics, or life choices, it can feel tricky to talk to your preteen. But keeping the lines of communication open is so important, especially when it comes to their spirituality.

These years are a pivotal time to talk with your preteen about God and to lay a foundation that can be built upon later. To help you do this, we’ve created five gospel-based conversations to have with your preteen:

  1. Your Identity
  2. Your Purpose
  3. Your Influence
  4. Your Worth
  5. Your Future

Don’t worry—we also provide tangible questions to help you go deeper with your preteen in each conversation.

At FamilyLife, we care about your relationship with your kids and your relationship with the One who created them, which is why we’re offering this free resource just for you.
