Join Melanie and Heidi as they discuss the delicate balance of parenting without over-helping, based on Stanford's research and their own experiences. They emphasize the importance of letting children face challenges to build independence, a strong work ethic, and a sense of purpose. By stepping back, parents can help their kids develop self-regulation, emotional understanding, and responsibility.
In this episode, you'll learn a practical four-step process inspired by how Jesus taught his disciples, applicable for all ages—from helping a toddler clean up to teaching a teen to drive. With personal stories and insights into how parental control affects children's future, they encourage a supportive rather than controlling approach.
