# 96: If you want a child who leads themselves, then...

from The Parenting Standard · host Priya Narthakii and Harry Goldberg

Imagine this: Your child is "perfectly" compliant. They make their bed, they get the grades, and they follow every rule. Then, they leave home—and they completely fall apart. Without your constant "management" and biased questioning, they have no internal compass. Ask Harry & Priya a question: https://airtable.com/appuZrvCvTjxoMHNa/pagG0SbG2nSlWJay3/form | Level Up Your Parenting: https://www.successstacker.com | Stay in the Know: https://airtable.com/appuZrvCvTjxoMHNa/pagW1J7nJ0j8FAmpP/form | ----------------------------They aren't responsible; they’re just well-trained. We discuss the terrifying reality of "projected emotions" and how parents unknowingly rob their children of their own identities. If you keep naming their frustrations and setting their metrics, you are ensuring they will be forever dependent—or worse, that they will eventually cut you out entirely just to breathe. Discover how to ask the "unbiased questions" that foster true responsibility and build an adult who leads themselves, even when you aren't in the room.---------------------------- Do you have some questions, stories or experiences you hope could be featured on the podcast?
