Resist the Urge to Rescue Your Child from Every Problem from "summary" of 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don't Do by Amy Morin
When parents rescue their children from every problem they face, they inadvertently hinder their child's ability to develop the mental strength they need to navigate life's challenges. While it's natural for parents to want to protect their children from pain and frustration, swooping in to fix everything can prevent kids from learning how to problem-solve on their own. Parents who constantly rescue their children are sending the message that they don't believe their child is capable of handling difficulties. This can create a learned helplessness in children, where they believe they are unable to cope without someone else stepping in to save the day. Ultimately, this can lead to a lack of resilience and self-efficacy in children as they grow older. When parents resist the urge to rescue their child from every problem, they give their children the opportunity to face challenges head-on and develop important life skills. By allowing kids to experience setbacks and work through difficulties, parents teach their children how to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and persevere in the face of adversity. It's important for parents to strike a balance between offering support and allowing their children to struggle. By providing guidance and encouragement, parents can empower their children to face challenges with confidence and resilience. This approach helps children develop the mental strength they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
