Sacrifice in Parenting
Here's a helpful nugget for parents taken from a recent Tim Keller sermon:
- When we are raising children, if we push them away and keep them at arm’s length in order to preserve our freedom and independence, they will grow up emotionally dependent and damaged. The only way our children can grow up with freedom and independence is if we sacrifice our freedom and independence, for years on end. Once again, it’s them or you.
