Responsibility vs Pressure | What is Appropriate When Getting Help From Your Older Kids


Listen Later

In today’s episode Adam and Rosie are talking about the importance of giving your kids responsibility as opposed to putting pressure on them, especially for older children. Why they thought about this topic is because there is quite a big gap between the eldest child and the youngest, and Adam has found himself leaning on the oldest for help, but he’s still trying to find that balance between treating him like a boy and young man.

“I remember being drawn into conversations when I was a kid. I had NO capability of being able to process them, but people thought they were doing the right thing by informing me and communicating. So that’s where the other thing is it’s making sure there isn’t a co-dependent relationship. He’s the kid, I don’t talk to him about adult stuff. I talk to my wife about adult stuff.” 10:12
