How families navigate spiritual authority and adolescent development

Our family has been trying to create more Islamic structure in our home but my teenager is pushing back hard and my spouse and I disagree about how much to enforce versus how much to trust the process and it's bringing up our own unresolved issues about authority and rebellion from our nafs.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Parents are discovering that implementing spiritual practices as a family unit forces them to confront their own relationship with authority, control, and spiritual autonomy.
