Scenario

When parents struggle to teach Sabbath rest to resistant teenagers

My teenage kids think Sabbath is boring religious stuff but they're anxious and overscheduled and I know they need to learn how to stop, but every time I suggest screen-free time or family walks they act like I'm punishing them.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Wisdom about stopping cannot be forced upon those who equate stillness with emptiness.
