Great post. I have been dealing with this issue a lot lately. So reading this article really gave me a few insights into dealing with this. One thing I was wondering: is point 5 biblical? 5. Some students may need a church time out. I used to use this a lot and found that it worked for me sometimes. Now, I talk to teens about attending sunday morning and if they feel they need a break from church, youth. I talk about what the church actually is a community. I try to stay away from the language that church is a sunday morning for an hour and a half program. I emphasize that the teenagers are the community, and are the church. Just a few thoughts.
