Modern parenting has become excessively involved, where parents are responding to every need and anticipating every challenge. This constant support can result in children appearing anxious or incapable, not due to a lack of ability but due to over-support. Children who struggle to cope without parental presence may develop a reliance on their parents that undermines their confidence and ability to handle tasks independently. Practical strategies suggest a shift in parenting style from rescuing to coaching, which allows children to face discomfort and develop resilience.
Help isn't the enemy. But over-helping prevents growth. Allow discomfort. Say, 'I know this is hard. You're doing a brave thing by trying.' Letting your child struggle a little doesn't make you a bad parent-it makes you a wise one.
