I appreciate the explanation but I don't believe this teaching is in alignment with God's word! Why would I give my teenager permission to do something that's going to hurt them or possibly someone else ??
What you're teaching is dangerous and contrary to what God's word says. Proverbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it!" Children don't know what's best for them, which is why we have to tell them and then hold them accountable. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
I’m so glad I found this my baby boy (12 years old ) is struggling so bad mentally & I know it has to do with how I have parented him looking toward to trying these new strategies ❤
I used this approach with my oldest, did not go well. I will control, as much as needed. I will not allow mine to hang with the wrong crowd, make big important decisions with their immature brains. Sorry, this can be bad advise. If it worked for you, great, but it will not work for all.
Adolescence is distinct from adulthood. Teens are still developing mentally, sexually, and physically. (How many fifteen-year-old boys are at their peak height and muscle mass?)
I really needed to hear this today. My 13 year old just asked me when he could move out and I broke down. I felt like a failure as a parent. I've loved and supported him and not hovered over him. He has lots of the freedoms spoken about here. So it really blind-sided me when he said he wanted to move out. But hearing this advice gives me some comfort that it's normal and I need to carry on gearing him up to leave.
Praying for our son. Our heart is aching for him…he seemed to know everything he is doing is right and reasonable…he is a SH graduating student. We are trying to reach out to him to help and to guide, but he already kept a distance from us🥺 but still we're doing all we can to ahow him our love. His dad and I are both pastoring a church but he started to stay away from the people in the church, too.😢😢
In my opinion, 18 is still considered a teen… not an adult. The law only says 18 is an adult because at that age, you can get a job without having to have a parents signature for that 18 to work in the workforce. To me a young adult is someone who's out of the teen stage in that number. Young adult hood should be acknowledged at the age of 20. I'm just saying. My 18 year old is wilding out because in her mind she's so called grown now. I'm talking about piercings, tattoos, verbage, being verbally smart mouth… I'm just learning to just let her do her as she has said. Just step back and pray for the greatest outcome for all discussions they make. Just listen when she needs someone to listen to her and not even ask questions or give my advice because doing anything other than that only cause issues. My answers will only be ok, sure, OK if that's what you feel is best for you.
What helped me the most with raising my children was the book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’. It is honestly a game changer
I have one normal teen, then i have my son, who is expensive. Hes expensive financially, and emotionally. I don't have the ability to allow him to give my children under 10yo, a poor example.
Life is more expensive now, and I refuse to allow my children to struggle. I will help them for a while longer.
Thank you this really helped me lots 😊

Great video!😅❤
This does not always work.

Great❤❤❤❤ ❤
What about going at it late😣 what about instead of starting at 12 we start at 16?
My daughter is 11. I love her. I am just looking for help. I don't want to make the same mistakes that my father made
Where did the statistics come from? I have heard the "14 yo girls got married" trope for 30 years. That was RARE, not average.

As an atheist, I came in skeptical, but no this guy is legit. Great advice for any parent regardless of faith or lack there of.
This is exactly what Islam teaches about teenagers being young adults rather older kids.. amazing to hear from this specialist 🎉bravo
I'm 45 and parents practiced dictatorship and it worked but it can't work within generation
Thenks for your perspective

Parenting a teen and young adult these days is unbelievably difficult, exhausting and soul breaking
nice to be hear…an advocate for teenagers
Thank you 🙏
I agree with very little of this. Not helpful. We are to protect our kids from being conformed to this world. Scripture wasn't consulted.

For a Christian psychologist none of your advice is Christian nor in the Bible you are a fraud
LOVE THIS! I needed this so badly. Thank you so much.
Hi. I'm looking to work with 5 families inside my new pilot program that helps their teens build confidence and create successful habits.
It's free in exchange for your honest review if you receive value.
Kindly reply here for details.
My daughter has attempted suicide and does drugs. I feel like a single mom without husband support. I'm lost.
Outstanding!!
13 doing laundry ? I started at 7/8 😂 both of my kids do their own laundry weekly. 😅
