Graceful Parenting (2-25-2009)

The grace of a parent who has gone through a difficult time with their teenager is a picture of the grace of God.It is hard to forgive a child when you still feel the sting of their bad behavior. And don’t expect them to ask for forgiveness, since most teenagers haven’t yet developed a ability to grasp how their behavior affect others.

So, instead of bitterness and anger, all parents can do is offer grace, both for the benefit of the child and themselves.

Letting go of anger means it no longer determines the path or quality of your life. And modeling grace is another important lesson for your child, who someday will understand God’s grace by your example.
