We were so happy to be joined by many of you for last night’s ‘How to Grow Remarkable Kids’ with Julietta Skoog. For those of you who joined or missed out, Julietta’s company, Sproutable, has an exciting offer for Ducks Nest families. Read on…
How can we avoid enabling our kids and instead EMPOWER them?
Growing remarkable kids is about practicing independence, responsibility and offering opportunities for children to have power and control over their own lives. When children are given the opportunity to learn and practice, to take responsibility, and to fix their own mistakes they build problem-solving skills AND brain connections.
It’s at that moment when we are so tired and want to take a shortcut that we can have a deeper pause and reflect on what the impact is. Understanding brain development helps us as parents during those times when it is just “easier” to do it ourselves or do it for them. Yes, it takes a little extra effort and patience but knowing that it is actually helping their brain to flourish can give you the motivation and relevance. These little deposits yield greater rewards AND will save time in the future when they are capable and independent. (You don’t want to be doing everything for your 13-year-old do you?)
Watch one of the science tips here that comes along with the series. This one is about the importance of empowering instead of enabling.
