How Much Did I Mess Up My Kids?!

This video features counselors Dr Kevon Owen and Jack Smith and they are discussing “How Much Did I Mess Up My Kids?!”.

When you have kids somewhere along the way you might have made mistakes. Hopefully not too many but you are human as we all are and you probably somewhere along the way really messed up.

Did that affect your kids? Hopefully not but even if they just witnessed your mistakes they did experience it at least from their viewpoint.

Your kids always grow up to adulthood. If in being an adult they bring your mistakes up and either condemn the mistake or put guilt on you about that. That’s a tough one. What do you do?

I would suggest to you to own up to your mistakes and apologize if appropriate and ask your adult child if they can with you acknowledge this and move on with life.

Many times this can work if they can see that you are sorry for your mistakes made especially if it directly affected them. That may not work in all cases. If they just can’t let go of something and continue you to guilt you about this don’t hold onto this guilt forever. Put your mistakes behind you ask God for forgiveness and and move on. Hopefully with time they will too.

We are all human and make mistakes. This can be very difficult for some. A counselor might be able to help with these things.

If this is a problem between your adult child and yourself that has not resulted in resolution then contact Dr Kevon Owen for guidance. Your teenagers mental health is important. Kevon can be reached by calling 405-740-1249 or 405-655-5180. More information is also available at https://www.kevonowen.com.
