Spiritual Life

If your child grew up connected with a faith community, that may continue to be a strong support system during the teenage years. In some families, going to services is not an option and teenagers maintain the faith connection, even if it's under duress. But, for families where a teen's involvement may be optional, find opportunities to include your teen in regular and special events at your place of worship. Or see if they would be interested in attending worship with grandparents, godparents, or neighbors. Part of a teenager's search for self includes questions about moral issues, sharing, prayer, and a higher power. Ongoing ways to connect with faith groups can be an important aspect of an adolescent's life.
