Refuge Student Ministry

Parents,

For many of you stress in your own lives is a fairly normal part of your existence, but for your student, it can be almost too much for them to handle. Seeing your student stressed often times leads you to more stress and the dynamics of your family become immediately stretched to its limits.

Last month I came across some articles that speak to this issue of teens and stress. I would encourage you to take time to read the articles and hopefully gain more understanding as to what your student(s) may be presently experiencing in their everyday lives. I am sure that there may be the few parents who may feel that their kids have nothing to be stressed about, if that's the case, I implore you to pause... read... and talk to your student--you might just change your mind.

The articles are:
(1) Our Kids Are Stressed and It's Getting Worse - Walt Mueller, PhD
(2) Ministry to Overstressed Kids - Chap Clark, PhD

Blessings,


Miles
