Equipping Without Burdening

Lately, I have been thinking through how to talk to children/youth about difficult things and I have come to the decision that (probably due to lack of experience) it is hard to know what to disclose. I normally err on the side of caution and perhaps I don’t say enough but I hope not to a fault. So I kind of see my role with the youth as this. I see them now in the younger part of their lives preparing for a journey/voyage/hike and I want to give them all they will need for the trip. You know the things looking back I wish someone would have equipped me with, or the stuff that was given to me that I found most useful. The challenge for me is knowing my place and knowing how much or how little. I don’t want to over step boundaries established by parents...
