Reply To: Going off the Derech

aries2756-you get right to the punch, and it’s good that she heard you. But if a kid is immature, like my son is unfortunately, then he would only get defensive if I were to say something like that. I think a kid has to be at a certain maturity to be able to ‘hear’ and accept what you said. Does it pay to say things like that now when my son’s not able to accept it, hoping it will somehow sink in? Or do I have to wait for maturity to kick in?
