324: How to Step Back Without Letting Go, with Kristin Lombardi, MA & Christine Drew, Ph.D.


Listen Later

What if the way you help your child is actually holding them back?

In this powerful conversation with Kristin Lombardi and Christine Drew, co-authors of Spectrum of Independence, we unpack the hard-to-navigate space between support and overdoing. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I empowering or enabling?” — this episode is a must-listen.

We explore how to slowly and compassionately fade our support, why independence isn’t about going it alone, and how morning and bedtime routines can become moments of growth instead of daily battles. With real talk, gentle truth-telling, and deeply empathetic strategies, we help you make space for your child’s autonomy without sacrificing connection.

Listen now to start shifting from doing it for them to teaching them how.
