“Be perfect” (Matt. 5:48) and “anxious for nothing” (Phil 4:6).
This tall order from the New Testament may put modern parents into a cold sweat. Parental perfectionism and anxiety are surely on the rise, but in his annual Headmaster’s Lecture at The Heights School, Alvaro de Vicente talks us down. He shows us the compatibility and wisdom of these two Biblical encouragements by refocusing on the process of growth—moral, academic, athletic, and spiritual—over simply the apparent results.
Chapters:
2:41 Introduction: being “good enough”
8:15 A new way to see perfection
10:07 Context changes our expectations
17:34 Setting reasonable expectations
24:46 Acknowledging our son’s freedom
29:28 Parental anxiety: danger ÷ opportunity
36:54 Surrounded by goodness, a twitch upon the thread
40:53 Perseverance through hard times
47:42 Addressing real problems
53:15 Ultimately, in God’s hands
