Humans are built to work and depend on each other for survival and when you’re a parent, that desire to protect and help is increased tenfold. It’s a natural feeling to want to protect our kids from the harms and struggles of the world but it doesn’t mean we should micromanage them either. Sometimes the best course of action is to take a step back and watch.

She’ll be joining me to discuss the importance of being respectful of our kids’ autonomy and ways we can help them exercise it while still providing guidance in their lives.
