Jasmine knows the devastation of loss all too well. Her premature son died after four months in the hospital,

and then she experienced a miscarriage. It was hard to worship. It was hard to pray, but by listening to this

podcast, focus on the family, it helped me, you know, think that I'm not the only one who's going

through this. Jasmine says we were a voice of calm and truth in her chaos. Today, she wants to

equip other hurting families before it's too late. By listening to this podcast or a focus on family,

it will help you tremendously with your faith and how to grow

and move forward. I'm Jim Daly. We need your help to deliver hope and joy to more families

like Jasmine. But time is running out to see your gift doubled through our matching opportunity.

800 the letter A and the word family. We've talked time and again here on this podcast about the

goal of letting your kids grow up to be adults and live their own life and own their own choices.

But when they make decisions you don't agree with or that have consequences that you know are going to be hard,

it's really hard to know what to do.

I'm John Fuller and along with me is Dr. Danny Werta, who heads up our parenting team.

And Danny, I think I've seen parents kind of forcing

advice on their adult kids. It doesn't seem to go down so well. No, it doesn't. So how do we find a

spot where we can be invited to give our advice? Because I know some stuff. Usually it's when

there's an emergency happening, right, for that

adult child, or there's been a really good relationship that's been built over time and they

ask those questions. It's also a temperament dependent thing. Okay. A peacemaker child or a talker,

social child, they're more the relational temperaments.

They're more apt to want to ask for advice and we'll have that conversation.
