The junior high years can be tough. Everything is changing—bodies, minds, friends—and emotions and hormones are running wild. Clearly it's a time of stress for the whole family. Early adolescents need help understanding themselves and learning how to adapt to the changes in their lives and in the world. Parents want to know what's going on and how to lead their kids in the right direction.
Ready for Life can help. Focused on children between the ages of 8 and 14, this family devotion book is for you. Daily discussion starters explore 40 essential, practical, life skills, written and presented in a way that will capture attention. Each topic has five separate devotions, giving you the option of spending a week on a specific life skill or skipping among skills to meet your family's needs. Topics include:
· how to build friendships
· how to make difficult decisions
· how to manage money
· how to deal with disappointment and loss
· how to worship
· how to understand the Bible
· how to know what you believe
Be careful—you might find yourself learning more about these practical life skills right along with your kids, as your family becomes Ready for Life!
