Aren't we supposed to help our kids solve their problems?!? How are they going to function if they don't get their problems solved?
In this episode we unpack some of the benefits of coaching our kids to learn to try and solve their own problems before bringing those issues to mom or dad.

Our granddaughter will join us as a guest on this episode, and discuss how her mom and dad (our daughter) puts this into practice in their family and how it works out from her perspective.

Finally, we’ll leave you with a couple of practical ways you can put this counter-intuitive concept into practice today.

As always, we don’t expect everyone to agree that this concept is correct or is right for your family but if it gets you thinking and more intentional with your parenting then it’s worthwhile.
