Some of the videos discuss how to deal with issues that you are personally struggling with, others--like this one--are resources geared to help parents help their children.

Parenting Servants and Friends: Lessons from the Lord on Being Parents of Adult Children
As our Heavenly parent, He doesn’t want to command in all things, and we shouldn’t wait to be commanded. He has given us all the rules in previous generations, now He is asking us to apply them according to our talents and strengths. Think of good things and do them. Amaze and delight our Father with what we come up with. Parents of adults can adopt the same trust and attitude.
BYU Study on Helicopter parenting: Control vs. support makes all the difference
“We wanted to determine if the sensationalization of helicopter parents in the media was empirically accurate,” said BYU family life professor Laura Padilla-Walker, lead author on the study. “What we found instead was three different kinds of parents.

A Father’s Gift to His Child: Self Confidence
“Go long Porter!” said Dad to his 15-year-old son as they played Frisbee in the circle in front of our home. Dad and Porter throw Frisbees regularly in the evening.

Parenting Independent Disciples: Lessons from the Lord on Raising Teens
There comes a point when our Israelites have bent themselves to fit our rules and expectations. They know to be safe on the road, and to not eat before dinner, and clean up their room, share their toys and sit quietly in church. They are getting it! As they advance in their ability to obey, parents ought to ease up on their micromanagement. The teenage years are especially suited to this next phase because they won’t listen to their parents anyway.
Another Man in My Life
If we’re being completely honest, until recently, I’ve always been a bit jealous of my friends who had a girl first. I’d watch my friends in church with what looked like a demure little doll on their laps, thoughtfully turning the pages of a board book. My boy was three before we could read together without him ripping the pages out. Everything was either a sword or a gun. He lived by one creed: if it doesn’t work, fit or agree, bite it. Are all boys like this? Little did I know I would one day have five of them.
