He’s also plagued by an inability to remember his childhood and the details of a night that changed him forever. When he encounters spiteful, fallen angels who are intent on destroying him, the vital memories return and it is clear he and his childhood friends are in grave danger. When Sam contacts Jonah, Carly, Jenna, and J, it becomes clear they too are suffering the same nightmares. Sam summons them to St. Louis where they find they are Watchers—part of a prophecy that will help end a war between fallen angels intent on destroying humanity and the guardian angel forces of heaven. Their Watcher gift allows them to see what rages around them, but when the fallen discover the Watchers’ abilities are growing, the five are placed in mortal danger … and all may not survive.

Confidence is an integral aspect in the growth and development of teenagers. Teen self-esteem attains its peak at the age of around 15 to 16 years. Depending on how the parents, guardians and the community as a whole handle the teenagers at this point, their confidence level may either plummet or rise. Self-esteem is generally related to how we perceive and feel about ourselves in terms of our abilities and attributes. Contrary to the beliefs of many people, teen confidence is deeply rooted and taps into the pre-teen years. A child who was mistreated and exposed to physical abuse at an early age may easily develop a low self-esteem all throughout his/her teenage years. At the pre-teen level, the barometer for self-worth focuses on physical attributes. This is why it is common to find a child who is short, yellow skinned or fat, having low self-esteem. The earlier the teenagers are taught on how to believe in themselves and seek for ways of self-improvement the better their foundation will be in terms of self-confidence. The parents and the society at large should have a way of managing their expectations concerning the teenagers so that they do not demand too much from them.Teenagers should also be trained on how to make great first impressions as this will help them boost their confidence and make them productive in their future lives. Negative attitudes have been singled out as one of the most poisonous tendencies that can easily way down teenagers making them dull and less cheerful. The doctrine of positivity should be nurtured in them right from a tender age so as to give them a positive outlook on life. In order to come up with a comprehensive teenage self-esteem management roadmap, the parents and guardians should first identify the low self-esteem cases. This will enable them to chart forward on how to build their confidence levels.

Our kids need us! So how in the world did we become dependent on them, and how did they get the idea they could disobey us? Parents do not lose power. They give it away. How? • By surrendering to the demands of time and personal convenience. • By capitulating to the strategy of whine and pester, pout and tantrum. • By giving in because it's easier These statements are part of the fabric Dr. David Miller weaves as he explores the question of Parent POWER. It is the question of godly, loving authority . . . the authority our heavenly Father expects of earthly parents to whom He has given the responsibility of parenthood. How's your power supply? Dr. David Miller is a professor of psychology at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and the father of three children.
