Drawing from the biblical story of the prodigal son, Mark unpacks the difference between grace and enabling, why responsibility is essential for maturity and how parents can help teens develop gratitude instead of entitlement. Tune in for practical wisdom on raising responsible young adults who understand hard work, healthy expectations and the true meaning of grace.Get 10 quick tips to address entitlement in teens here: bit.ly/Ten-ways-to-deal-with-an-entitled-teenMentioned in this episode:FICC Online PreRoll Stephen Curtis Chapman
