As a parent of a toddler, is it too early to be worrying about the teen years?? When is the right time to start laying the groundwork for (**hopefully**) open and honest communication as our kids grow up?
Mother and counselor Kristen Hatton tells us no matter where you are, no matter how old your kids, the time to start parenting redemptively is now. Her latest book, Parenting Ahead: Preparing Now for the Teen Years, helps parents lay the groundwork to have honest conversations, set reasonable limits, and explore issues of the heart will prepare us and our children for the next stage. Hatton helps moms and dads make the connection between our current parenting and future outcomes.
Proactive, long-haul parenting will help parents and children be better prepared for engaging in the realities of peer pressure, decision-making, and recognizing the connection between behavior and the heart. And don't worry - Kristen says no matter what your kids' ages, you're not too early and you're not too late!
