FRIDAYS are FRESH Chapters written but never officially posted or shared. What's wonderful is that you can read it in your OWN language, and for our Minister MOMs, they can begin building and publishing their own books one chapter at a time!
TODAY I am excited to begin sharing a new book, its first chapter, taking the Living Lessons I rely on so that my teenage granddaughters can relate and begin to live these lessons too. You'll find this posted on the HomeGownCHILDREN.com blog.
The Secret Weapon Your Teen Needs to Fight Stress (Hint: It Involves Laughter!)
As parents, we know our teens carry a lot. Between social media, school, peers, and constant expectations put on them, the pressure builds fast—often showing up as late-night worry or sudden heavy moods.
What if you could hand them a tool to completely shift that weight?
In Chapter One of her NXTGEN Living Lesson, “Laughing It Off”, Erin Thiele shares an incredible perspective perfect for the modern teenager.
Why You’ll Want to Share This:
-
It’s Relatable: Erin speaks directly to everyday moments.
-
It Destroys Drama: It gives teens a practical way to "shake off" negative thoughts before the poison sinks in.
-
It Restores Joy: It invites them to trade 2 a.m. overthinking for heavenly confidence, learning to laugh at the future instead of fearing it.
This journey isn’t about your teen being perfect; it's about discovering that our and their weaknesses are the exact places where God’s strength shows up the loudest.
Ready to dive in? Read or listen to the first chapter together here: LL “Laughing It Off”. Let’s help our kids shake off the drama and live FREE!
How appropriate that our children's Heavenly Father designed this lesson to post the day before the United States of America's Independence Day, the 4th of July!
