As a mom of an only child, I’ve often found myself doing things for my 8-year-old daughter that she’s fully capable of doing on her own, like making lunch, getting dressed, or putting away her clothes. In this episode of The Family of One Child, I reflect on what it looks like now that I’m aware of my “helper mode” tendencies, and how I’m learning to gently step back so she can step up.
I also share how reading our period book together sparked even more meaningful conversations, filled with curiosity, honesty, and connection.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in helper mode or wondered how to open sensitive conversations with your child, this episode is for you.
