Spoiler Alert: Your Kid Won't Fail To Launch
When kids don't do simple things for themselves, it's easy to future trip and freak out. But what if you knew that they'd be okay and it will all turn out just fine? What if you could have that reassurance? Would it change how you show up now when you're feeling fed up about them not knowing how to make a hair appointment, make a sandwich, or do their own laundry? If you could drop the panic, what would you do instead? How could you course correct when you want your kids to learn basic "life-ing" skills?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How to take a breath and get perspective instead of panicking when your kid needs help to complete a basic “grownup” task.
- To keep a sense of humor around the things your kids have (and haven’t) learned to do for themselves.
- Why blaming ourselves for doing too much can drive a wedge between us and the kid whose independence we want to support.
And much more!
