Give Them Wings

Preparing for the Time Your Teen Leaves Home

About this book

The updated and revised guidebook on setting your kids free to soar.

Your teen comes home with her driver's license. College catalogs fill your mailbox. Senior pictures are taken, and graduation gowns are fitted. The family car is loaded to take your college freshman to his dorm.

During that transition time when a teen becomes a young adult, family roles must stretch and adjust to accommodate spreading wings. What can you expect in this growing up process? Give Them Wings offers insight into how families change as parents and teens make room for the future. Emphasizing the need for independence and responsibility, Give Them Wings explores many ways that Christian parents can equip their teen.

Filled with encouragement and practical wisdom, this book helps you learn how to help your teenagers:

  • Answer questions such as "Who am I?"
  • Explore their own beliefs
  • Understand the ins and outs of budgeting, doing laundry, and other responsibilities
  • Choose a college or career path that's right for them
  • Successfully navigate their last years of high school and first years of college
  • Bid farewell to childhood and become adult members of the family

If your children are on the brink of adulthood, Give Them Wings can help you survive the changes and thrive on the parenting challenges the next few years will bring. You can be prepared to help your teens journey into adulthood, as well as learn to enjoy the process of emptying the nest.
