Help your child but careful not to take over.
“Be willing to assist your child, but be careful not to over assist or to take over.”
After reading this quote, think back to when you gave your child too much help-- coloring his pictures, cleaning his room, typing his papers, actually doing her science project.
Now think about the present. Are you rescuing too much? Do you need to back off some, and if so, how will you do this?
