Danny Huerta: 作为父母,在孩子年幼时放手让他们做选择是很困难的,但随着他们年龄增长,尤其到了青少年时期,就应该逐渐放手。孩子们每天面临无数的决定,包括如何回应手机上的各种通知。重要的是要认识到他们有时会做出错误的决定,而父母需要帮助他们学会如何处理这些情绪。在一些小事上,比如整理房间,我也学会了放手,不再唠叨。当儿子选择朋友时,即使我不太喜欢,我也尝试通过提问来引导他自己思考,而不是直接否定。我发现,用“帮助我理解”这句话能更好地与孩子沟通,让他们感受到我的尊重。 Jodi Burnt: 青少年时期是孩子发展决策能力的关键时期,父母需要认识到这一点。控制是亲子关系中常见的紧张点。我分享了一个朋友莱斯利的故事,她的女儿想参加毕业舞会,但那天也是她姐姐的大学毕业典礼。莱斯利并没有强迫女儿参加毕业典礼,而是选择祷告,最终事情得到了完美的解决。这个故事告诉我们,父母需要放手,信任上帝的安排。同时,祷告在亲子关系中扮演着重要的角色,父母可以通过祷告与上帝合作,引导孩子走向正确的道路。 Jim Daly: 我分享了我儿子特伦特的故事,他在高中毕业后就迫不及待地想去上大学。我担心他会受到不良影响,但他告诉我,我已经教了他该怎么做,而且没有人能说服他做他不想做的事情。这个故事让我意识到,父母不可能永远控制孩子,重要的是要信任他们。即使孩子在情感上与父母疏远,父母也不应该放弃,而应该继续祷告,寻求上帝的帮助。
