Faith Q&A › Youth Concerns › Service

What is the best way of dealing with difficult youth?

The answer

1- I must like them and they must like me, naturally, and through the grace of God.

2- I must feel relaxed with them, and not be in a state of panic.

3- I must be decisive with them when they are disruptive in prayers & Bible readings.

4- Patience - keep the example of Jacob in mind; don’t look at his instability now, but look towards what he will be like in the future.

5- Love is the most impressive thing of all.
