Memories of supernatural moments in the teen’s life: Take some time to think through the life of your child, year by year. Consider any extraordinary times when there were supernatural moments in your teen’s life.

This may refer to a miracle or deliverance or protection or achievement beyond his or her own ability. Instead of just quickly checking these off, savor the memory by replaying the scene or situation and remembering how you felt and how your teen felt. God’s intervention cannot be imitated!

3.

Memories of birth:

Allow yourself to go back and remember your teen’s birth. (If you have adopted the child, remember the first moment you saw him or her.) Remind yourself of your feelings, your dreams, your hopes for their future, your plans for caring for the child and your excitement at the possibilities that lay before you. Recapture those feelings and look at a current picture of your teen and regain any hope that has been lost. Rework the excitement into your soul so you are ready for the next adventure.

B. What I Do Not Know.

This part will require research. If your teen will not be offended, ask the questions outright, but make sure it is part of a discussion and don’t disagree with the answers. Let them freely share how they feel. Whether their perceptions 1 7 9

are right or wrong, it reflects how they feel and that is truth in and of itself. You could also give them a paper with questions on it and ask them to write their answers, which may make them feel freer to answer without trying to fulfill any expectations from you or in order to avoid any reactions from you. You also can research certain information online.

Do not talk to your teen’s friends unless they give you permission. Transfer anything you did not know from the “Part A” here so you can discover the answers.
