    Dear Monica,
    This was a great message about parenting teens. I’ve got two teen boys, so I think this came along at the perfect time. The best things I took from the talk were about counseling instead of criticizing, and about never correcting my child in public. I’m also inspired to encourage my boys to invite their friends for an event. Great advice. My very favorite thing about your talk is the way that you talked about God’s ability to restore and do all things. You acknowledged that we don’t even know the great things that God is capable of. Beautiful. No one can leave feeling in despair about their parenting, because you gave them hope about what God can do. Awesome! Thanks!

    As always, Monica, you’re so wise and I LOVE listening to your counsel! I see that you have some notes underneath about what you talked about, but I was thinking how nice it would be to be able to look over a bulleted (or numbered) list of the main advice points you shared, to review the great wisdom in a glance. You made several points, and it’s hard to keep all the points in my mind without forgetting the ones you told us first. 🙂 I usually exercise or fix dinner while I’m listening, so taking notes is hard. Thanks so much for sharing!
