If you are looking for a way in summer, connecting with your teenage daughter, are planning to book a group study of girls with her daughter and her friend.
You may think that young people are not good on this idea, but just think once ... might be surprised.
Before bouncing the idea of your daughter and see what their thoughts on the subject. If they show signs of interest, then brainstorm some possible book titles and / or topics. When myDaughter and I started our group last summer we had in mind, some of the girls get together for our church high school youth. So we talked about some of the books that people had time to read.
Next my daughter called to see her friends and acquaintances who might be interested in this idea. Almost everyone was interested in coming to speak and he liked the idea, but many were already well in the summer with other activities. We narrowed the list to about four orfive, that committed, to read the book together and always talking. We have all given entry in the book, we wanted to read, and Grace ended with "What's so surprising?" a popular book by Phillip Yancey.
I broke the book into three or four sections of the chapter, and we decided to meet Wednesday evening six weeks. Overall, the study went very well, and it was very rewarding. We all remember him happy, and it was greatspend time with my daughter.
If you do something that might be interested in doing, thinking, here are some tips I got in the way:
Do not take it personally if not all come every week. Everyone has busy schedules and conflicts. Probably only one or two girls came every week, or even lose a daughter. You'll notice that conversations may differ considerably depending on the mix of girls, which is good!
Meet in a low-key,Relaxed atmosphere, so that all feel comfortable and not as a class. We have blankets to sit on a local park and had snacks every week.
Not to pressure you into "the group. You're not there to teach, but only to facilitate the call. I found it useful to choose a book on the applications included the study group. Some books have the questions in the back. This particular book a companion who had the study guidemust be purchased separately. Let the girls talk and ask questions if there is a big lull in the conversation. Although it might look "wrong" answers, let the girls compete to be first and see what conclusions are challenging. There is rare that you should mediate. Instead of directly challenging someone to help you ask more questions, get a different answer.
In the same note as the last point, do not feel, or give advice to allright answers. Most young people love someone, listened to, especially for adults, their thoughts and feelings. Do not expect that you know everything, just want to hear. You will notice that the boys all come from different family backgrounds and do not always have other people to feel they need to talk.
encourage girls to come to the talks, even if they do their reading for the week. You'll find that most are embarrassed, if nottheir "homework" and do not want to show. Encourage them to come, though not in the community to promote reading among girls.
Dads can I study this book groups with their teenage children and their friends! You can goof around and maybe take some more steam off before getting to the point (a sort of outdoor activities), but teenage boys, to learn together and from each other and be happy.
A book study group is a great way tosome of your friends know teenagers. Encourage them to invite people who do not know them very well ... People from school or work they want to know better. It 's a great way to take the first step towards friendship make teaching them to reach others.
