Got this from some other reading, but fits real well….
“Like parents everywhere, we wonder how much to interfere in the lives of our young adult children.
Say something? Or keep quiet? Offer fatherly advice? Or let them figure it out for themselves?
Father tends to be more laissez faire. Mother is more activist, more interventionist. Both want to help. But both are aware that they can’t protect their children from life.
“Wisdom is the knowledge you need to avoid serious mistakes,” says father, gravely.
“Where do you get wisdom?” asks the son.
“From making mistakes,” comes the answer.””
