Questions to Consider
- How do we balance the need for control with our children's need for autonomy in their moral and spiritual growth?
- Can we truly prepare our children for the complexities of life if we shield them from making their own mistakes?
- What does it mean to be an "adult in the room" when parenting, and how does this influence our children's perception of maturity and responsibility?
- If we accept that our children are moral and spiritual beings with their own choices, how do we reconcile this with our desire to see them embrace our faith and values?
