As of June 3, I have three teenage boys. Until the beginning of August, my son’s ages are 13, 14 and 15! But this doesn’t strike fear into my heart. I have prayed since they were toddlers for these present years.
I’m okay with the challenges they bring. My children are developing their identities. They seek out the coolest personality traits. As their parents they learn from us but for the most part they want to be different. Also, they do not want us as their parents constantly giving them advice on how to do everything. All that’s okay. My children don’t have the typical peer pressure that most do. My husband and I still have much influence on their decisions. I’m glad for that.
