The Power of Pain

As parents, it can be tough to watch our teens struggle. But if we want our children to grow in character and perseverance, we've got to resist the temptation to rescue them from every hardship. In today’s episode, Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd emphasize the importance of not shielding our teens from the natural consequences of their actions, outlining how this can be a key factor in their development. Our job is not to eliminate pain, but to take advantage of the opportunity that it provides to prepare our kids for the real world — tune in now!
