Join Ed, parent and teacher Chris and Jon and Sarah (also parents) as they share some anecdotal advice on how to navigate when children do not want to do what you want them to do, particularly when entering the teen years. They chat about how to help kids in the 11-14 age bracket feel secure and navigate new challenges, as well as share some of their own stories along the way.People: Ed Drew - Director of FIKChris - TeacherJon and Sarah - Parents of children around the 11-14 age bracket!Quote from Chris:"Home is actually a safe place to be, not a place of judgment. As Christians, we want to model the idea of grace and when you come home, it's a safe place... then conversations can start." Links of Fun:If you're relatively new search for the Tim Chester podcast and Ed and John (along with that fun-sized mars bar!)Purchase our Newest Book:The new book Meals with Jesus from Faith in Kids in partnership with The Good Book Company can be ordered here (https://www.thegoodbook.co.uk/meals-with-jesus).If you have any questions or comments, please get in touch with us at [email protected].
