Frequently Asked Questions

As you pray for your rebellious child, remember that God has a plan for their life and is working everything out for their good. His plan is not for us to understand, but for us to trust in His sovereignty (Romans 8:28).

Don't be afraid to show physical affection, like hugs and kisses, to your child. Physical touch releases oxytocin, a hormone that promotes feelings of love and connection. As you show physical affection, pray that your child will feel Your loving touch and sense Your presence in their life (1 John 3:1).
+
When disciplining your child, try to separate the behavior from the child. Avoid labeling them as 'bad' or 'rebellious.' Instead, focus on the specific behavior that needs correction, and use this opportunity to teach and guide them in the right path (Proverbs 22:15).
