Summary

Hey mamas. How do you feel watching your kids struggle to overcome challenges? How do you know if they’re just frustrated or if they’re truly scared? Should you intervene and help them, or encourage from the sidelines while they work it out? You can’t learn how to ride a bike without falling off a couple times, right? But then what if you break a leg and never get back on😬🤷🏻‍♀️ This week we talk about how confusing it can be to know when to step in and when to step down. Good news is, we have gotten wrong a bunch of times and the kids are *basically* ok. And fails that go on so long Molly is gonna cancel us.

0:57.9	How's everybody doing tonight? Good. So good. So good. So, this episode tonight is born out of, I don't know, my own
