When someone with whom we have significant relationship, and especially influence over, thinks and acts differently than we deem best and right, there are two options.
Frustration or education...
Frustration is the easy/convenient response...but will only result in stagnancy. Things will almost assuredly get worse. The risk is in souring the relationship, while the other individual and the situation will very likely remain unchanged.
The alternative response is education. Educating the other paves the pathway to growth. It will likely be hard work and take a significant amount of time. But, it will result in a path that is going somewhere, as opposed to one that simply circles on itself.
Frustration is easy...education is best!
