Difficult Conversations: Should I Help My Child or Let Them Figure It Out?

This is part two of the Difficult Conversations series. Today we’ll take a look at how to decide whether you should take an active role in helping out your child or let them resolve it themselves.

When I see kids struggling, my first instinct is to want to help.
Maybe you are the same?

It feels satisfying to offer help. You can feel good about helping them really achieve something or see their effort turn out how they want it. Sometimes though, it can actually hinder kids from developing their own sense of independence and self sufficiency.

So how do you tell the difference?

That's exactly what I want to take a look at in this next video!
