Tyndale Kids to publish “Parent Guides to Finding True Identity” in partnership with Axis, a parenting resources ministry

Carol Stream, Ill. (January 26, 2023) —Tyndale House Publishers, in partnership with Axis, is set to release the next five guidebooks in their series designed to help parents bridge generational gaps in conversation with their teens. These booklets will release for individual purchase on March 7, 2023, and the Parent Guides to Finding True Identity bundle of all five booklets can be purchased on April 18, 2023.

A Parent’s Guide to Teen Identity

“I am who I decide to be.” Teens strongly believe in a world where self-expression, uniqueness, and differences are welcome. Dig deep into Gen Z’s identity formation by uncovering false beliefs and steering your teen toward a healthy sense of self.

Features:

  • Lies culture tells you about identity formation
  • Biblical truths about finding your real identity
  • Practical ways to live out your true self
  • Self-reflection questions for parents
  • Engaging discussion questions for teens

A Parent’s Guide to LGBTQ+ and Your Teen

Today’s teens rely on the Internet, dislike labels, and love their LGBTQ+ friends. How can you discuss this hot-button topic with compassion when you don’t understand what the letters mean or how it’s become part of daily conversation?

Features:

  • Bible passages about sexual identity
  • Ways the church has responded poorly to the LGBTQ+ community
  • Practical tips for preparing to discuss the topic with your teen
  • Discussion questions to dive deep into your teen’s understanding of sexuality
  • List of terms and definitions (asexual, cisgender, queer, etc.) and triggering phrases to avoid

A Parent’s Guide to Body Positivity

When movies and media flash airbrushed models across our kids’ screens, it’s hard for them not to compare themselves negatively. Gain valuable insight into the body positivity moment—how it began, its pros and cons, and why it deeply influences teen mental health.

Features answers to questions including:

  • Where does body shame come from?
  • What does the Bible say about body image?
  • How can I help my teen have a healthy view of their body?
  • And more!

Plus, enjoy discussion questions and advice specific to fathers and mothers to help curb your teen’s body negativity.


A Parent’s Guide to Eating Disorders

It’s heartbreaking to watch your teen willfully destroy their body. Get a solid overview of the types of eating disorders, what causes them, and how to seek professional help. Plus, gain time-tested strategies to discuss this triggering topic with compassion.

Enjoy a balanced Christian perspective on how to find true healing with answers to questions including:

  • Why are eating disorders on the rise?
  • How can I tell if my child has an eating disorder?
  • How can I help my child fix it if they don’t think it’s a problem?
  • And more!

A Parent’s Guide to Fear and Worry

Today’s teens fear terrorism, school shootings, debt, cyberbullying, and more. It’s no wonder Generation Z has the highest rates of mental health conditions in history. Unravel your teen’s fears and worries with this easy-to-read guide featuring:

  • Reasons why today’s teens are overwhelmed with fear and worry
  • Tips to console stressed teens and ways to live without a spirit of fear
  • Encouraging Bible verses to combat fear and worry
  • And more!

Jesus never guaranteed a hardship-free life, but he does offer peace. This book guides parents and teens toward an ongoing conversation about living a balanced life.
