Don’t do your child’s work for them - Deepstash

Don’t do your child’s work for them

You might be tempted to intervene in your child’s life out of a sense of duty or control, such as:

  • asking your child’s teachers for extra credit
  • scolding a classmate who hurt your child’s feelings
  • hiding or restricting access to food.

But if you help make your child feel capable, they’ll be more motivated to solve problems in the future. Consider talking with your child about solutions to their problems without attempting to solve them yourself.
