24. Learning to Have Confidence in Our Your Adult Children with Tiffany Rhoton

So often we think we know what’s best for our kids. When they are young we make a lot of decisions for them, but as they grow older it can be tricky to let go and allow them to make choices for themselves. On this episode of the podcast, Heather and Tiffany talk about the importance of letting your young adult children make their own decisions, how that is good for them, why it’s necessary for their development and growth, and how it can actually strengthen the relationship you have with them.

Takeaways:

• There is a lot of pressure put on young adults these days from parents and society about what they should be doing with their lives that it can be difficult for them to find a space to know what they really want and who they want to become.
• As parents we can try and shield our children from disappointment and heartache but feeling all of those things is really just how life works and necessary for their growth.
• We often want our adult children to do and be certain things so that we can feel better as their parents.
• We have to let our young adult children write their own recipe for success.
• As parents of our children we are to teach them correct principles, but eventually they will have to leave us so they can make mistakes, and do things on their own.
• Letting go of our young adult children really comes down to having faith in God and faith in ourselves to learn and grow as their parents. Then ultimately we can have faith in our children.
