It’s time to take on independence. Listen in as Mel & Michelle double click on the beautifully messy, often contradictory journey of raising independent kids. We dive into what it looks like to encourage and cultivate independence with compassion, how to gradually release responsibility, and when to dial things up or down depending on the moment. 2TNL: Independence is the goal and letting go can be really hard.
We also share some of our favorite thinking nuggets, including “what am I doing vs. what are they doing,” because knowing when to step in and when to step back is part of the dance. And the magic? Teaching our kids (and let's be honest, ourselves too!) to “give it a good try and know when & how to ask for help."
