“Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.”Psalm 127:4

Teen Launch

The senior-year countdown. Twelve months to shift from authority to witness, on purpose.

Every parenting article you’ve ever read was really about this year. Arrows aren’t made to be held. This is a month-by-month plan for the last year at home: the conversations to have before they go, the faith questions to let them wrestle without you panicking, the blessing to speak, and the slow, deliberate handover from the parent who decides to the parent who witnesses. Check off months as you go; it saves on your phone. If you’re starting late, start where you are.
