No matter how much parents want to protect their children from disappointment, they still learn everything from their own experience. And this means that adults will have to help their child try, test themselves and make mistakes.
No matter how much parents want to protect their children from disappointment, they still learn everything from their own experience. And this means that adults will have to help their child try, test themselves and make mistakes. On the one hand, to create a safe, protected space, and on the other hand, to let go further, to provide freedom for the development of essential life skills. The art of finding this balance is the subject of a book by the French psychologist Madeleine Denis. It shows how the child is separated step by step from the parents and how long the “insurance” should be at a given age. Do not leave children alone with problems, but do not try to fix everything yourself and at the same second, the psychologist notes. And most importantly — clearly explains how to do it.
