What to Expect From a 12 Year Old

The reason parents have problems with some teenagers is because those teens have a deficiency in their earlier character development.

A study of Luke 2 shows that Jesus, by the age 12, had developed 7 qualities necessary for true maturity. Expect that a 12-year-old will:

• Have a mature sense of responsibility, purpose, and destiny.
• Have a keen sense of discernment, especially in relation to the company he keeps.
• Have a burning hunger to understand truth and wisdom.
• Be fully obedient.
• Be consistently respectful.
• Be totally committed to doing the will of God.
• Have an unmistakable godliness about his life.
