As opposed to just saying I'm just about being a parent and so I'm going to create the circumstances where that stretches almost ad nauseum into the future.
I think it's important to recognize what drives you and what role you play.

The other thing is to step back and really attend to your child's capacity to do things on his or her own.
Capacity is different than action.
I feel it's important to point that out because a lot of parents will say to me, there is no capacity.
They wouldn't write the teachers if I didn't.
But I always encourage parents like, OK, but they might do something.
Why don't you take a step back, you know, while they're in the comfort of your home and the risks are relatively low.
They're not off at college.
They're not on their own yet.

Let's see what they can do.
And let's give them the opportunity at the very least to try.
And if they decide I'm going to opt out altogether, let's give them the opportunity.
