Provide guidance and support, but allow your child to take the lead from "summary" of Duct Tape Parenting by Vicki Hoefle

This concept is all about finding the right balance between guiding your child and letting them take charge. It's about being there to offer support and advice, but ultimately allowing your child to make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes. As a parent, it can be tempting to try to control every aspect of your child's life, from what they wear to who they hang out with. But by giving them more freedom to make choices and take responsibility for their actions, you are helping them develop important life skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and independence. When you provide guidance and support, you are showing your child that you believe in their abilities and trust them to make good choices. This helps build their self-esteem and confidence, making them more likely to take risks and try new things. By allowing your child to take the lead, you are giving them the opportunity to learn from their successes and failures, and to develop a sense of autonomy and self-reliance. This will help them become more resilient and adaptable in the face of challenges, and better equipped to handle the ups and downs of life.
  1. Try taking a step back and letting them take the lead. Offer your support and guidance, but ultimately trust them to make the right decisions for themselves. It may be difficult to let go at first, but in the long run, you'll be helping your child become a more confident, capable, and independent individual.
