Hello Everyone! Hope you are having a great day so far. Today I want to share with parents who have Teenagers or Young adults. We are all aware that our children will become adults one day, but I want to share how we can be there for them effectively so he/she can become independent rising adults. Now that our children(teenagers or young adult) is at the place where they are making choices on their own, getting up, choosing their own career path, and working. Yes our “Babies” are growing up, and this feels to us that they don’t need us anymore. As Parents we want to make sure that we are “Helping” instead of “Enabling” our rising adults. During this stage it’s hard to let go as parents, believe me I know and I’m still experiencing this part of parenting. What I’ve been trying to do on this parenting journey with my rising adult, is to help when he cannot do it for himself. I’ve come to the realization that helping my child do things that he can do for himself, is enabling him. I’m learning that enabling my child will not prepare him for adulthood. We want our children to be able to discern what is the right choice to make during their adult life, but we have to teach it to them early. When we look back on our own moments of becoming adults, there were things we had to learn, discover, and discern on our own. I also remember times when God brought people in my life to help me understand and learn some of life lessons. In us not enabling our children, they too will experience some of life lessons that will strengthen and prepare them for Adulthood. please remember to subscribe below, so we stay connected on this Parental Journey. Thank you.
