We’re not just responsible for our kids, we’re also responsible for teaching them how to be responsible for themselves. We want to teach our kids how to solve their own problems and be self-reliant and self-governing.
I get it. It’s SO hard not to intervene when you see your teen trying to figure something out by themselves, taking the long route, and making mistakes as they go. But if you’re constantly rescuing them to provide that comfort, you’re not teaching them how to problem solve and be resilient in life. In the end, we learn more from our mistakes than from things going right.
So let’s have a look at how we can help our kids navigate their own lives!
In this episode on letting our kids be independent, we discuss:
- Recognizing the mind frame you’re coming from when wanting to help your child;
- Becoming your child’s accountability partner;
- Helping your child make decisions and problem-solve themselves instead of doing it for them;
- Building resilience in our kids;
- And much more!
