Hi everyone,
Hi everyone,
For anyone who has dealt with raising a disaffected, or rebellious young person, I thought you might appreciate these words of counsel from Olfana.

===Dialogue===
Student: Olfana, I'm so grateful for the progress my daughter has made since the last time we spoke.

Olfana: (Smiling) Yes. As thought she needs to adopt this because you believe it so strongly. Rather than, this is your perspective that you're sharing with her, and now she needs to think about these things. She needs to decide if this is something that feels comfortable, that she can incorporate into herself.

And believe me, the doors are open right now. Your daughter is listening. She is not in the same shut off, shut down, retained mood. And you have real opportunities to help guide her now. Also, her friends are changing, her associations. And this is all to the good. And, again, if you can support her in the fact that she is welcome to bring her friends around you. You might propose, for instance, 'Why not, let's go to lunch? Why not, you pick a friend, and let's the three of us go out for lunch. My treat." And just offer that sense of a social opportunity for her. And I encourage you to look for good results from such activities. (end of excerpt)
