64. How Much Support Is Too Much?
Manage episode 383786275 series 3389590
How much support is too much? There’s a therapist, a tutor, an EF coach, maybe a mentor, and a basketball coach, and sometimes our kids are just like: ‘That’s enough!’. We must figure out how to listen to them and still give them the support they need.
At a certain point, we need to give our kids the time and space to implement what they've learned, make mistakes and learn from them, and practice being independent young adults. So when is it the right time for this for your child?
Every situation is different and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how much support is too much. So let’s dive into all the details in today’s episode!
In this episode on how much support is too much, we discuss:
- How much support is too much?;
- When does the support start having negative effects?;
- Why it’s important to give our kids some freedom to implement what they’ve learned and become independent young adults;
- What to do when the stakes are too high?;
- What can your kid learn while making mistakes?;
- And much more!
