Social changes Away from parents, toward friends The beginnings of mixed-gendered groups Peer pressure! New modes of communication Older generation’s wisdom not valued

Emotional changes A time of turmoil Self concept is becoming more differentiated Self-confidence Impulsive A desire for independence

Cognitive changes Logic and abstraction just beginning Ability to take other viewpoints just beginning Imaginary audience Personal fable Inquisitive and curious

Changes in faith Reflecting the faith of their parents – making a choice Seeking a God who knows them for who they are “Is this faith really mine?”

The need for authoritative communities Research says that there is a crisis Mental and behavioral health is deteriorating There is a lack of connectedness—to other people and to moral and spiritual meaning.

The need for authoritative communities, continued An authoritative community… Is a social institution that includes children and youth is warm and nurturing is a place where rules matter – but so do closer relationships is a place where close relationships matter – but so do rules and expectations is multigenerational encourages spiritual and religious development

In your church ministry… Emphasize that God knows them and loves them for who they are. Remember that they need the influence of Christian adults. Listen and talk Watch the adult / peer social dilemma

In your church ministry… Communicate on their terms sometimes Give them independence Encourage taking others’ perspective Give real answers to real questions Have fun! ©iStockphoto.com/ Mandygodbehear
