What happens when giving your child the opportunities you never had starts putting your relationship at risk?

Craig Young, father of NFL quarterback Bryce Young and author of Growing Up Young: One Family’s Faith Journey to the NFL, joins Judge Greg Mathis, Linda Mathis, Greg Mathis Jr. and Amir Mathis to discuss the difference between supporting a child and taking over their dream.

Craig describes the childhood experiences that shaped his parenting, the warning from his wife, Julie, and the work of rebuilding trust with Bryce. Amir shares how athletic expectations affected his sense of approval from his father, while Linda and Judge compare their approaches to giving their children independence.

The conversation also covers stepping back as children become adults, finding time for emotional connection, and making space for both faith and professional counseling. Along the way, the family revisits Greg Jr.’s basketball mishap and Judge admits exactly what he read before the interview.

An honest conversation about wanting the best for your children without deciding their lives for them.
