I was lucky because I had parents that supported me no matter what. When things got rough, then other family members stepped in to assist. I had moments of rebellion like everyone else, but my family was patient with me and prayed that I would turn out all right. I think that I am a better person for it.
What about parents that put so much pressure on the children to do well that they actually do worse because they are worried about what their parents think? What about those children that despite everything they do right their family points out fifty wrongs? What about those parents who want their children to fit a specific mold and their children turn out different?
I am not a parent ( not yet anyway), but I know people whose parents are like this and it makes me so sad. If you can't lean on your family for support, then who can you lean on? God?! Yes! But God made us in such a way to be in relationships with other people. I believe that parents should guide their children to meet their full potential and help them learn from mistakes along the way. That's my two cents for the day!
