Helicopter parenting feels like love, but what if it's creating the fragility we're trying to prevent?
Children today spend half as much time playing outside while anxiety skyrockets. Political commentator Van Jones once said to a room of college students: "I don't want you to be safe ideologically. I want you to be strong."
Romans 5 teaches that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance builds character, and character creates hope. Biblical parenting is confident but not controlling—we teach, guide, and release our children into God's hands. Your kids don't need perfect parents who eliminate every risk. They need faithful ones who point them to Jesus and let them grow strong.
