Summary

Most of us want to raise healthy, resilient, empowered adults, but how do we get there? Our kids don’t magically turn independent and empowered once they pass the threshold of adulthood.

The magic is in finding the sweet spot between rescuing and empowering our kids on a daily basis. Even if we hit that sweet spot half the time, we’ll be building those skills to help our kids feel empowered.

In this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast I explore the continuum of rescuing to tough love parenting. I discuss how to move from doing it for our kids, to coaching, to sitting on the sidelines cheerleading.
