What to Do When Your Teen Son Doesn't Want Your Help? | Christian Parenting
62 | What do you do when your son doesn’t want your help—even when you can see that he’s struggling with an important decision?
As moms, it can be hard to watch our sons work through something when we think we could help. We may want to offer advice, make the path easier, or keep them from making a decision they might regret. But as our sons grow into young men, knowing when to help—and when our help may not be what they need—can get complicated.
In this Mom’s Perspective™ episode of Raising Boys with Purpose™, we’re talking about why teen and young adult sons sometimes resist their mom’s advice, what may really be happening when they don’t want to talk, and how we can respond while keeping communication open.
I’ll also share the story of a young man who chose a very different path after high school than his family expected—and what happened when he was given time to figure out what he wanted for himself.
And through it all, we’ll look at one of the harder parts of raising sons toward adulthood: trusting God when we don’t know exactly what their future will look like.
