426: There's a Difference Between Nurturing and Enabling
Manage episode 430329463 series 1212324
Are you raising confident kids? Today Karen encourages moms to take a step back so our kids can step up. She and Emily discuss the pitfalls of doing things for our kids and the reasons we often fall into that trap. They also talk about the difference between nurturing and enabling and share the critical connection between kids who take ownership and confident kids!
Episode Recap:
6:40 Why is there a whole chapter on confidence in this book?
8:32 Where are moms missing the mark when it comes to raising confident kids?
12:56 What role do chores play in confidence?
14:04 Small, practical ways you can allow your children to grow in confidence
Scripture for Reflection:
Galatians 6:5 (NIV): "For each one should carry their own load."
Questions for Discussion:
- Can you identify any specific behaviors or actions where you might be enabling your child rather than nurturing their independence? What changes could you make to shift from enabling to nurturing?
- Reflect on a recent situation where you stepped back and allowed your child to handle something on their own. How did it go, and what did you learn from the experience?
- How do you incorporate chores into your child's routine? How have you seen chores impact your child's sense of responsibility and confidence?
- What are some small, practical steps you can take to help your child grow in confidence? How can you implement these steps in your daily routine?
