Maturity and Forgiveness
Seeing your son or daughter mature is very rewarding. However, if your child isn't where you want them to be, Jim Daly and Dr. Randy Schroeder will encourage you to not give up. They'll even offer some ideas for how to ask for forgiveness, if you don't get something right. Also, John and Danny will discuss why forgiveness is many times a long process.
