I agree with you that you could give your child age appropriate and skill level appropriate problems or challenges to help them grow. Like giving a teenager their own bank account and requiring them to balance/manage their allowance. That way, as their parent you could step in anytime to fix the situation -- that's totally in your control.Kirsi_78 wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 05:20 Of course the way we are raised up affects the way we turn out as adults. Another question is, if the result would be better or worse. Raising up children is a rather complicated issue I can’t imagine what I would have done differently, since it is a different culture and a different era. Anyway, as a parent I think that solving every problem and filling every need of the child might not be the best way to go. The kids need to learn some survival skills and problem solving skills and they definitely won’t learn if they don’t ever have the opportunity for that. Giving challenges that match the child’s age and current skill level adds up with my philosophy better than sheltering the child from just about everything.

Well said! Parenting is incredibly complicated, especially when you have several to parent and they are all so different. I also agree with your point about not doing everything for kids. Psychologist Kevin Leman humorously encourages parents to let kids fail while they are under your roof so they can learn and be stronger when they move out into the world.Kirsi_78 wrote: ↑13 Jan 2021, 05:20 Of course the way we are raised up affects the way we turn out as adults.
