Do you ever wonder why your children resist your suggestions for the easiest and most painless way to perform a task, even when it seems obvious that their strategy will result in a undesirable or painful ending? Sometimes I have felt frustrated, and other times I’ve just felt a heaviness in my heart area, when I see my son do something that results in disappointment for him. But our children need these experiences. In this post, I discuss how and why it can be detrimental to interfere with your child’s experiential learning process—even when it is to save him pain or inconvenience!
Thanks for listening. If you have any questions, comments or stories to share, please do so below. I’d love to hear from you!
Warmly,
