One of the hardest things about parenting is discerning when to step in and help your kids and when do you step back. This is especially tough during the tween and teen years when our kids are going through huge changes - socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. We are in a huge transitional phase when our kids hit the tween and teen years. And it’s really hard to step back when you’re watching them make choices that you don’t like. This is NOT easy!
We want our kids to be successful of course we do. We love them, and we care - but when are we actually caring so much that they don’t have to care as much?
If you are relating, you are going to find this episode super helpful.
My special guest today is speaker, educational consultant, and bestselling author Cindy Muchnick, who co-author the book, “The Parent Compass: Navigating Your Teen's Wellness and Academic Journey in Today's Competitive World.”
As a mom of four herself, Cindy is on a mission to educate parents on how to support and empower their kids to develop resilience and a sense of purpose without putting too much pressure on them.
A few of the things we talk about are - what kids wish parents would quit doing and allow them to do themselves, the effects on our teens when we over-parent, what to do instead when we are afraid our kids won’t be successful, and what to do to motivate our kids and build a stronger bond with them.
