    SCRIPT: A 16-year-old named Eddie said, “My parents raised me in a strict Christian home, but when I got older and wanted to make my own choices about life and worship, my parents refused.”

    When Eddie’s parents denied him more freedom, even in his late teen years, he dove head first into a life of rebellion. Eventually, when he hit rock bottom, he landed in a treatment program, where he sorted out his independent spirit, his rebellion, his relationships, and his faith.

    His parents also learned from this…the wisdom of giving children more freedom as they grow older.

    So, begin shifting your role from directing your teen’s life to setting boundaries for them to live within. They’ll make mistakes. But that’s an opportunity to learn as well.
