Quote by Meg Meeker, M.D.

“When we make a mistake in front of them, we need to admit fault and we need to tell them that we try hard, but that sometimes we too need help Tell him you need to ask God for direction on how to live better and how to be a better mom. Then ask your son to pray for you, just as you pray for him. That can be a life-changing moment for many sons, when a mother admits that she's trying with all her might but isn't doing the job that she really wants to be doing and needs help.”

We should be prepared for moments when our children’s freedom causes us anguish—this anguish is akin to the compassionate suffering of God, who undertook the ”risk” of creation. Restraint of almost grown-up children is a cheap solution; it is easier, but less effective, than understanding and prayer. If a child has been brought up in the spirit of Christ, it will hardly ever be necessary.”
