LET THEM BE! (LEARNING FROM THE PRODIGAL SONS FATHER )
Hello, This is for parents of older kids. Remember the prodigal son story from the bible? I think being the father of the prodigal son is hard. But I also think we can learn one lesson from that father. *** Let them make the mistake once in a while and learn from it *** I know it's your job to protect them. To utilize the benefit of experience and wisdom from your old age to chart a safe and optimal route for their life to thrive effortlessly. I know! But sometimes resistance leads to entrenchment in error which leads to derailment! So learn from the father and allow that kid to: move out of the house early travel abroad without proper logistics plan drop out of school start a business without experience decide to be transgender marry that vagabond live on the wild side of life a bit etc You feel like saying God forbid, right? Well. the alternative is that you may push them to greater disaster because of pressure. Disasters that you may not foresee! You can only TRAIN a child whe
