Making
good choices resulting in positive change is what everyone wants. Wise decisions affect not only our lives, but
also the lives of others who may not be comfortable with our choices. Deciding to go away to college after high
school could be the right decision for a young person, but the parents might
become anxious and oppose the idea.
Support
and encouragement from parents are what young people need to make these steps
toward independence. Parents are
responsible for giving their children healthy emotional supplies, including
love, trust and respect, that enable them make this move. Trust, respect and love
are what you give them in graduated steps from the day they are born.
A simple
but vital step in this process is to commit them to God the Father just as Hanna did with Samuel. She promised in 1 Samuel 1:28 that
he would will be given over to the Lord for his entire life. I realize children make choices for their own lives, but what you do with them
while they are in your care affects the choices they make throughout life.
