    How to raise an adult: https://www.julielythcotthaims.com/how-to-raise-an-adult 

    In today's video, we dive deep into the essential lesson of allowing our children to experience life's challenges and the beauty of overcoming them on their own. It's natural for parents to want to protect their kids, but are we overdoing it? Inspired by the insightful book "How to Raise an Adult," we discuss the pitfalls of over-parenting and the long-term consequences it can have on our children's growth and self-confidence. 

    By constantly stepping in, we inadvertently send a message that we don't trust them to handle life's obstacles. 

    🌟 Key Takeaways: 

    1. The importance of empowering our children and giving them agency. 
    2. The dangers of coddling and why it's essential to let kids experience setbacks. 
    3. How trust plays a pivotal role in a child's development and self-worth. 

    Join me in this enlightening conversation and discover how we can raise resilient, independent, and confident adults by sometimes taking a step back. Let's foster a generation that knows not just how to face challenges, but how to rise from them stronger than ever! 💪
