#754: Letting Go

Do you remember learning to ride a bike? For kids, it’s a BIG deal. But learning to ride a bike takes time—maybe even a few falls and scraped knees. Perhaps you remember holding onto your son’s bike as he pedaled down the sidewalk. But little by little, you carefully released your grip. At first, just for a second. Then, as your son developed confidence, you let go entirely. At that point, your son’s smile probably stretched from ear to ear. He’ll never forget that victorious moment—or the fact that you were there beside him, helping him along the way.Regardless of what stage of life your son is in, learn to carefully release your grip so that your son can ride confidently into the future.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
