Main Points of Class

  • True maturity is recognizing your limitations and where you need help.

    1. Obedience as a positive ideal: exercise of freedom out of love. 

  • The maturing of one’s relationship with his parents involves developing a friendship based on love & respect.

  • High-schoolers forget that their parents have lived through the same time as they have. 

    1. Parents can help show you the line between trusting authority vs. having experience (as discussed in risk-taking).

  • Remembering the love your parents have for you, and the love you should have for your parents.

    1. If your parents clash with you, whether you are right or wrong in that specific decision doesn’t matter that much. What matters much more is whether you embrace the love your parents have for you.
