We know that teens are growing like crazy physically. My son grew almost 6 inches this last year… but we as parents, mentors, teachers should realize that the teens in our lives need to be filled with our encouragement.

I don't know a single teen who struggles from receiving too much encouragement from the adults in their life. They desperately need us to help build up their self esteem and confidence and one of the best ways we can do that is by encouraging them and lifting them up with our words.
