The Parent Link

Many parents see the teenage years as something to simply survive. Many say, "If I can just get my child through the next few years, my life will go back to normal." It seems like when our children reach the age of 12 an alien comes down and sucks their sweet, innocent little brain out and replaces it with an anti-Christ-like brain!

At Northcliffe we believe the teenage years aren't something to simply "survive." We believe it is the age of opportunity. Your children will grow more spiritually during their teenage years than at any other time in their lives. It is the age where most students come to know the Lord, and the age where most students walk away from God and never look back. We want to help parents during these critical years. We've included links to some great information for parents.
