Loving that Midlife

When to Correct Your Teen or Young Adult — and When to Let It Go


Listen Later

There comes a point in parenting when correction starts sounding a lot like criticism — even when it’s about values and not preferences.
 So how do you know when to step in… and when to step back?

In this heartfelt episode of Loving That Midlife, Master Certified Christian Life Coach Lori Buck unpacks how to navigate the tension between guiding and letting go as your kids become teens and young adults. You’ll learn how to correct with calm instead of control, when correction turns into criticism, and how to build connection even when your children are making choices you don’t love.

Lori also shares a powerful word for moms watching a child walk away from faith — and how to trust God with your adult children’s hearts without falling into guilt or control.

You’ll walk away with:

  • 3 practical tools for peaceful midlife parenting
  • The difference between correction and criticism
  • How to release control while holding on to love
  • A faith-based framework for trusting God with your grown kids

Because loving your kids well in this season doesn’t mean managing their every move — it means modeling calm, compassion, and trust.

Listen now to learn how to guide your kids with peace instead of pressure.
