Rich Griffith is a single Dad of three teenage sons, all of whom he adopted. He soon realized that despite ministering to teenagers for many years, he didn’t know how to disciple his children as a parent. Neither do a lot of parents.
And that is why Rich likes to help parents teach their children how to engage their world by discerning which voices in their lives are helpful and harmful. The wisdom for determining whether or not a voice is worth listening to is discovered through what he calls the “Three Ts”:
- Time. Research shows that parents spend as little as five minutes a day in intentional conversation with their children, but authentic relationships take time to develop.
- Transparency. Character is discovered through transparency. The more parents are willing to be transparent with their children, the better.
- Trust. Trust is established through time and transparency.
