The article discusses how witnessing children struggle can be emotionally challenging for parents, often leading to instinctive but ineffective responses such as minimizing the child's feelings, blaming them, or attempting to fix their problems. These actions can hinder the child's ability to develop resilience and confidence. Instead, engaging with curiosity, validating their experiences, and encouraging problem-solving fosters essential life skills and a healthier parent-child connection. A notable suggestion is to adopt a long-term parenting approach: "Prepare your child for the road, not the road for your child."
Prepare your child for the road, not the road for your child.
