While on a road trip, have your kids ever whined, “Are we there yet?” When the journey is long, we grow impatient. We want to arrive at the destination as fast as possible. And if roadblocks make us veer off course, we grow frustrated. Sometimes even angry.The same is true in the parenting journey. Our children are maturing socially, mentally, and spiritually—but sometimes not as fast as we’d like. We want them to develop responsibility as quickly as possible, but then we grow impatient whenever a detour sends them off track.Avoid unreasonable expectations. Realize that your son’s developmental process takes time—and that’s okay. Instead of constantly wishing he were already at the destination, take time to enjoy life’s journey with him.
