As we settle in Fall, high schools and colleges are in full swing, with parents learning to adjust to their child’s increasing autonomy. The anxiety parents experience over their children growing into a new, more independent phase of life is understandable. While you hope every decision is the right one, making more judgments on their own means they can make mistakes and choices of which parents might not approve. These are key developmental years, and with less daily interaction, you may feel nervous and apprehensive. But never lose heart. The good seeds you planted will never be in vain. Continue to love and encourage your children; be patient with them; pray for them; and, most importantly, entrust them to God, the one who will guide and lead them on the right path.
