subject: How To Stimulate Faith In Teenagers [print this page] Studies show that parents have the biggest influence in their children's lives. But other adults can also play a significant role in their development. Indeed, perhaps the best way to help children mature is to provide them with "many advisors". Write down the names of at least three Christian adults who you see as having a positive relationship with your teenager. Then ask your teen to write down three Christian adults she respects and would like to have play a bigger role in her life. If your teenager does not like the idea of being "set up" with mentors, let her suggest other adults with the agreement that you have the right to refuse anyone who doesn't seem fit for the job. Stay in touch with your teen's mentors. These people should be permanent parts of birthdays, major events such as graduations, recitals and holidays. Developing these relationships in your teen's life might seem like an unusual step to take, but the guidance that healthy Christian adults can provide in the life of your child is worth every minute of effort. They will help your teenager's faith to grow, especially if a leader walks what he preaches. Mentors and teenagers will talk, pray, read the Bible and good Christian books. A mentor's relationship skills, spiritual example, and character make the biggest positive impact in a teenager's life.
