I think that'll probably help a lot in allowing the child to become who they want to be rather than what you want them to be. even if you think it's the best for them, right?

But to try to impose it on someone else would be taking away their own autonomy, including if that's our own kids. But that's something that I would want to do.

And that's what you want as a parent, right? To just be closer to your kids. But the more that we try to control them, the less that they want to open up. So it's a very interesting paradox, but it is, that is exactly how it is. The more you let go, the closer that they'll feel to you and you to them.

The first thing is to realize and ask yourself the question, how often has overthinking helped or even solved the situation that I'm going through right now? Is this thinking actually useful?
