Proverbs 27:1

Each phase comes with new challenges for both the parent and the child. So, why IS twelve such a difficult year for kids?

In life, parents take the whole responsibility for their children’s later behavior, emotions, strengths, values, fears, manners and everything else that was a part of their job to teach them from an early stage of life. Some modern-day parents find it exhausting to cope with everything that parenthood brings, including devotion and love, and leave their children to cell phones, tablets and brainwashing TV channels instead of being by their side.
Life is what we make it. For years, I was wishing time away. I love my children but I was also eager for them to grow up and be more independent. Now, they are all pretty independent (still working on some stuff with our 5… almost 6 year old but it’s happening much sooner than I expected). Instead of our lives becoming less hectic… we are seemingly in a constant tailspin. “Our lives are like a runaway!”

Can you explain to the one who lives with no sound, the emotions that a love song can stir as soon as you hear the very first chord?
