Do you worry about your children? Well, isn't that part of the package, part of the intrinsic legacy of parenthood, it's normal to worry about your kids. We worry about those people we love. However, worry can turn into self recrimination. If we blame ourselves for our children's emotions, decisions and behaviors. At some point, they have to take up the sword.
If you hold yourself responsible for every hiccup they experience, you'll disempower them. They need to shoulder the responsibility for the things within their control. And many times their actions despite your best teachings are not what you would choose Although you may feel that you have power over your children, let's face it, you don't have that much power. So support them, provide appropriate consequences to motivate them and just love them. And which of you, by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? Luke, chapter 12, verse 25
