Start with what your family is navigating

Seventeen resource collections, grouped around the questions Kenyan parents and teenagers are actually asking.

When you are worried now

Start here for pressure, safety, online life, withdrawal and conflict at home.

  • Anxiety & Pressure

    Something has changed and you cannot name it. That is where most parents start, and it is a reasonable place to start.

  • Betting, Substances & Risk

    Sports betting reaches Kenyan teenagers through the same phone as everything else, and most parents never see it happen.

    4 articles

    3 articles

  • Social Media & Identity

    4 articles

  • Family Structure & Discipline

  • Boarding School & Transitions

    Kenya sends a higher share of its children to boarding school than almost anywhere else, and writes remarkably little about what that is like.

School and the next stage

Exams, school seasons, money decisions, work and preparation for independence.

Helping a young person form convictions while staying connected to family, church and community.

    Most Christian parenting content assumes a Western household. The pressures described are real, but they are not quite yours.

  • Faith & Church Life

    A teenager questioning faith is not necessarily a teenager losing it. Often it is the first sign of faith becoming genuinely theirs.

    5 articles

  • Written for Teenagers

    These are written to you, not about you. No lecture, no pretending, and no adult voice performing what it thinks teenagers sound like.

    4 articles

  • Kenya in Focus

    Some stories arrive in the house whether or not anyone brings them up. These articles read the news as a parenting question.

    2 articles

For the parent carrying a lot

Support for your own wellbeing and for family seasons shaped by grief or change.

  • The Parent's Own Life
