Parents of the Year

28. How do you balance support, dependency, and failure?


Listen Later

With back to school just around the corner, the Doctor and her sidekick start things off by clearing up that it's the kids and not Andrew that are going back to school. 

From there they dig into more important topics like who sleeps in until when, why Andrew stayed up too late, and what Caroline thought of the movie The Nice Guys. 

For those that have stuck around to this point, they finally get around to this week's topic...how do parents balance being supportive of our kids without taking away their chance to fail (as a way for them to learn). 

Part of a sound strategy is about balancing preparation with accountability, and being PROACTIVE! If we spend the time helping them get things ready before they actually need them, things should run smoothly.
