Rooting Your Teen in Faith: A Field Guide for Catholic Parents
Despite the fears of parents that there is nothing they can do to save their children from the suffocating influence of secularism, much research reveals several factors that influence faith retention. While we can never guarantee our children will remain faithful Catholics, we are not powerless when we allow God to lead us in leading our children!
In my new book, parents will gain insight into the process of faith development during adolescence, and they will discover why they are the answer to what their teenagers need to arrive at the bridge of discipleship and maturing faith.

Rooting Your Teen in the Faith
A Field Guide for Catholic Parents
While Catholic teens drifting away from the Faith is increasingly common, it’s not inevitable. We as parents are uniquely qualified to lead our teens to a relationship with Christ. During the difficult teenage years, youth ministers, teachers, and effective parish programs are pivotal, but parents are the single most powerful factor in our children’s faith development.
In Rooting Your Teen in the Faith, family coach, catechist, author, and mom Kim Cameron-Smith empowers parents to shepherd their teens, guiding them to discover their mission, deepen their faith, and discern the truth about their identity and purpose.
There is no perfect blueprint for evangelizing teenagers, but there is the right relationship: the parent-child bond. If we lean into our call to lead, inspire, free, and transform our children, by the end of the teenage years, they will be equipped to respond to God’s movements in their lives.

A child’s first relationships in his family are foundational for his openness to the love of God and for his continued spiritual growth throughout life.

It’s important that we never give our children the impression that their behavior is bigger than our love for them.
