“I would tell my parents, if you don't let me go on my quest, I will go on it anyway. Because you won't let me be a man, you want to treat me like a baby. And I'm going to be a man, whether you like it or not – Ryan King

Appreciation is the power of positive labels. If you treat a trustworthy man like a man, he will believe that about himself his whole life. If you label a person negatively, such as lazy, he will believe it his whole life. It works in both directions.
Parents need to lead by example, and then they allow for that journey to take place. What ends up happening is they don't lose that young person. They just get a different, more mature person that comes back.
These days, a young man needs to be self-aware of his gifts, limitations, strengths, strategic thinking, and ability to analyze causes and effects.
