Fathering the Prodigal Child, 2

published Feb 06, 2007 12:00

It's been said that kids need love the most when they're acting the most unlovable. So how can hurting parents show love to a rebellious teen who angrily rejects their attempts to reach out? It's definitely not easy, but as today's guests testify, it can be done. Charles Stone and his daughter Heather, authors of the book Daughters Gone Wild, Dads Gone Crazy, offer practical advice to parents of prodigal children.
"The temptation that we faced, that I'm so glad I didn't succumb to, was giving up -- giving up hope, closing my heart to Heather." -- Charles Stone
