Family Mission Statements -Forming a family mission statement helps to define effective ways to add positive elements for growth to a family. The framework can help point out the good, the bad and the ugly in your family and restore a loving balance that inspires your family's spirit rather than quench it. This lesson will also define and help you establish the circle of 5 for each of your children for positive influence in their teen years!

 Boundary Setting vs Crisis Management - Boundary setting is probably one of the most necessary and hardest element of parenting. Imagine what your children's lives would be like if they had No Boundaries...imagine what your home would be like! This week we'll lay the why's and why not's of boundary setting along with if and when to allow your child to fail. Remember, the moment you YELL, you've lost the battle! Come join us as we discover the difference between helicopter parenting verses the out of touch parent.

Learning Styles Part 1 - Visual Learner - Understanding our own as well as our teenager's learning style can often help to avoid the pitfalls of setting a teen up for failure. There are 4 distinct learning styles, today we'll lay the ground work for all of them and take a deeper look at the Visual Learner. Then join us next week as we explore the other styles.

Learning Styles Part 2 - Auditory/Verbal Learners - Learning styles can work for us or against us as parents. This week we'll study the strengths and weaknesses of audio/verbal teens and prayerfully avoid the yelling matches this style can often win!

Learning Styles Part 3- The Hands On Learner - Kinesthetic Learning Styles are the movers and shakers of our society, but as teens if we're not careful how we train them we can quench their spirits, kill their desires to obey and rock and roll our households in anything but positive ways! Learn how to teach these teens to be Hands-On for Christ's sake!

Setting Boundaries Part 1 - Internet and Cell Phone -Whether you like the internet or cell phones makes no difference, your children are growing up in a world where it is here to stay, will be required of them in one capacity or another, and places more power in their hands than they often are prepared to handle. We MUST teach them internal boundaries at a younger age than we ever needed to learn.

Setting Boundaries Part 2 - Driving Boundaries -   Something happens when teens get behind the wheel of a car. The steps outlined will create a safer, more thoughtful driver or their lack of discipline to complete the tasks will demonstrate their immaturity or lack of readiness to be left behind the wheel of a potentially lethal weapon.

Setting Boundaries Part 3 - Money Boundaries for Teens - Are you planning on monetarily supporting your children in their adult years? If not, financial training begins when they are teens. Putting money in teen's hands as early as 10 years old can teach the lessons of saving and budgeting. This lesson deals with setting boundaries and natural consequences for handling money.

Setting Boundaries Part 4 - Homework Boundaries for Teens - As a parent, you should never be surprised at a poor grade. It takes 3 people to create a successful education in our teens: the student, the teacher and the parent! This week we'll discuss winning the Homework Battles with dignity for all!

Coming of Age (Part 1- Girls)- ‘Coming of age’ is a term used to denote a young person’s transition from adolescence into adulthood. It’s interesting that every culture has their ways of deciding when and how teens are introduced into adult society. Many children in my opinion are babied for far too many years. Adolescent rebellion goes on for many more years than is healthy. But I think we often fail to recognize their maturity by never clearly defining the line, the time they should cross over or the how to cross skills required to ‘arrive’. 

Coming of Age (Part 2 - Boys) - ????Don't miss this opportunity to instill confidence in the heart of a boy that will soon need all his strength and confidence to survive in a world that destroys men for sport! In Biblical times, father's passed on the family blessing to their boys to symbolize their entrance into manhood. Let's talk about how to do that today! www.pamalajvincent.com

What Really Matters - An 'in spite of' love keeps on loving even when it's tough, and when running away would be easier. ‘In spite of’ love loves those who are hard to love and those who can’t love themselves.  Parenting teens requires 'in spite of' love. Learning to say I love you, and You make me Proud can change everything! 

What I Meant to Say! - Like every adult, Teens want to feel valued and appreciated. If we praise them for the good things we do, they are more likely to do good things. The world is waiting eager to tell your teen what's wrong with them. It's our responsibility to tell them what's right with them.

Setting the Pace of your Home Part 1 - Living out of balance can create a live-for-the-moment mentality not only in us as parents but in our teens. Balance allows us to to be 'present' moment to moment in our life and allows us to avoid missing one single chance to serve the Lord through serving His people. Let's spend some time learning to manage our time, our homes and become the kind of stewards our teens will WANT to mirror.

Setting the Pace of your Home Part 2 - One of the toughest areas of parenting is time management. It is vital to our families that we recognize the caustic influences lack of balance can bring to our front doors. If we live our lives unplugged from our families because of the stress 'speed' brings to us, can we blame them when they run screaming from the pews the moment they're old enough to be on their own?

 Setting the Pace in your Home Part 3- Creating the Home Office-  Any home that is going to be efficient needs a designated work-space. This week is a hands-on how to create your Home Office. Join us as we attempt to master the monster of chaos!  

Setting the Pace in your Home Part 4 -One of the ways to gain more time and peace in your life is to gain control of your living space. As women we often never really shut off the 'to do' list in our heads, making us anything but Godly in the morning! Some times we can end up treating our families as if they are interruptions to our household chores. Ugh! Let's share together how to eat that elephant one spoonful at a time, and clean up our priorities and attitudes!
