Letting Them Make Mistakes

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY
About this episode

As your child grows, he or she will make mistakes. But instead of shielding them from all their errors, it's best to let them try and learn. John and Danny offer encouragement to parents who are afraid to let their kids make decisions for themselves. Featuring Crystal Paine.
