As their children grow into teenagers and young adults, parenting changes. The rules, schedules, and authority that worked when children were young don't necessarily work when they're older. Coach Crump shares his experience of entering a new stage of parenting where patience, waiting, prayer, and accepting reality have become more important than trying to control every outcome. The conversation explores a powerful question: How do you continue to guide your children while allowing them to make their own decisions? As children grow older, parents can offer wisdom, insight, support, and boundaries—but ultimately, young adults have their own free will and must learn from their own choices.
