Step back so your kids can step up.

When we control our kids or micromanage them, we rob them of the satisfaction that comes from making good decisions on their own or developing the internal resources to learn from bad decisions.

When we step back, it gives our kids an opportunity to step up.

Never give a child control of your home, but do give them ownership. It’s also a respect issue. “I respect you enough to believe you are capable to handling disappointment or boredom without me fixing the situation for you.”
