Well I lo I love your your initial thought.
What what is the work they need to do on themselves?
So um sometimes we are uh all of us.
blind to what is driving us and what impact our behavior is having on the people around us.
So um
I've worked with and known many parents and I've been the parent f at times that felt a need to be needed in a certain way in the life of my child, you know, or in the life of our children.
And so we may unwittingly at times
create a sense of disempowerment or uh a lack of ability in our kids.
I talk a lot about the vibe we set in our home and the messages we give our kids about themselves.
And sometimes it is a handy feeling for a parent to have to feel I'm necessary.
My my child, this particular child just doesn't have
have the internal strength or the wherewithal to make it in the world on his or her own.
So I'm necessary here.
I'm going to be necessary in their lives for a very long time.
And we create unwittingly, I think sometimes and unconsciously a role for ourselves.
Over the long term.
where we're not necessarily considering like maybe I should redefine what my role is in the life of my child and consider what my life is about, 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, you know, what drives you and what role you play.
The other thing is if I hope that makes sense.
The other thing is to step back and really attend to your child's capacity to do things on his or her own.
