PRETEEN PARENT GATHERINGS PACK

Five ready-to-host gatherings that help your church equip parents to understand, guide, and disciple their preteens through some of the most important issues of the preteen years.

Parent ministry matters, but creating meaningful parent gatherings takes time. You have to research the topic, build the teaching, create slides and handouts, think through discussion questions, and figure out how to turn all of that into an experience parents will actually find helpful.

Preteen Parent Gatherings does that work for you.

Each gathering provides a complete framework for bringing parents together around a relevant preteen parenting topic while giving them space to learn, talk, process, and encourage one another.

GATHERING #1: AVAILABLE NOW

Letting Go Without Losing Connection

The preteen years bring growing independence, and parents often find themselves wondering how much to hold on and how much to let go.

This gathering introduces parents to Let Go and Run Beside, using the picture of teaching a child to ride a bike. At some point, a parent has to let go of the seat, but letting go doesn’t mean walking away.

Parents explore what can happen when they don’t give their preteen increasing ownership, as well as what can happen when they let go without continuing to provide the connection, guidance, and support their preteen still needs.

Current research helps parents understand some of the developmental changes happening during these years. Scripture, including Deuteronomy 6 and 1 Samuel 3, helps them consider how they can increasingly give their preteen opportunities to hear from, respond to, and walk with God.

BUILD STRONGER PARTNERSHIPS WITH PARENTS

You bring experience with preteens, an understanding of this unique stage of development, and a perspective parents may not always get to see. Parents bring a deep understanding of their own child.

Preteen Parent Gatherings creates space for those perspectives to come together, helping strengthen relationships between your ministry and the families you serve while equipping parents to intentionally guide their preteens through these important years.
