Has your child ever discussed his relationship with Jesus with you?
Describe for me your current relationship with your prodigal child? What was your relationship with him like before? When did it change? Why do you think it changed?
In what ways is your child like you at that same age?
In what way do your child’s actions embarrass you? Why?
What have you tried in the past to curb your child’s rebellious nature? What were the results?
What are your expectations of your child? Are any of them unclear or unreasonable?
In what ways are you allowing your child’s behavior to control your emotions?
How does your child’s rebellious nature make you feel about yourself, your spouse, your parenting, your future?
In what ways might you and your spouse have parented this prodigal differently than you parented their siblings?
What are you doing now to try to communicate love and acceptance to your prodigal child? What holds you back?
What is your deepest desire for your prodigal child?
I believe that the most important relationship your child will ever have is his (or her) relationship with Jesus Christ. Are you a follower of Christ? What does that mean to you?
