Supporting Your Preteen’s Faith Journey

Preteens are kids who are in-between childhood and teenagers — they are experiencing a lot of growth & development, often with high emotions, but their maturity lags behind. Parents need to monitor & limit preteen internet use, ask more questions (and lecture less), and maintain faith traditions such as attending church, praying over their kids, and reintroducing them to God’s Word.
