Open with a calm ask for two minutes, relate by framing benefits to your tween, and then deliver the core message: conversations will shift from commands to collaborative decision-making, with you serving as support and retaining a safety veto.

First, determine what the text claims by identifying genre, figures, and grammar: classify speech-acts (interrogative/imperative/indicative), map key syntactical relations (e.g., genitives), and detect literary signals (metaphor, hyperbole, personification). For example, treat Jn 10:9 as metaphor and Acts 1:8 as command. Second, test coherence by the analogy of faith: where two readings are viable, select the one in harmony with clear teaching elsewhere; only then assess plausibility or miracle without importing naturalistic vetoes. Expected result: fewer alleged contradictions, fewer anachronisms, and doctrine shaped by the whole canon rather than contemporary taste.
