In this week’s episode, I talk about the importance of fostering independence instead of pushing your kids to become independent.
It’s natural as a parent to worry that your kids will grow up not being independent, so we sometimes try and push them to do things for themselves when maybe they need a bit more love and nurturing.

- Why it’s okay to do things for your kids that they can do for themselves
- Tips to foster more independence with your kids
