62 | What Do You Do When Your Teen Son Doesn’t Want Your Help? | Christian Parenting

Have you ever watched your son struggle with a decision and thought, If he would just let me help, I could make this so much easier?

As our sons grow into young men, there are times when they simply don’t want our advice. And for moms, that can be hard—especially when we can see a solution, worry about the decision they’re making, or feel anxious about where their choices might lead.

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 help, what may be happening when they don’t want to talk, and how we can respond without closing the door to future conversations.

We’ll also consider an important question for moms raising sons toward independence: How do we know when our son needs our guidance—and when he may need the opportunity to figure something out for himself?

Because preparing our sons for adulthood isn’t only about what we teach them. Sometimes it’s also about how we respond as they begin making more of their own decisions—and learning to trust God when their path doesn’t look quite the way we expected.
