There may be things that you are doing that you don’t realize that you are doing to hinder the development of your children. You may think, that they’re just children and need the help you are giving to them, but all this does is create a theme that they can’t do it without your help. Give them a question with every question they have so that they can learn to problem solve on their own and give them a higher dose of the self esteem that they need.
