The Compulsion to Fix My Child—and What It’s Costing Me
from Parenting Through The Hard · host Parenting Through the Hard
Do you ever feel that automatic pull to fix things for your teen or adult child, especially when their struggle triggers something tender or fearful in you? I feel that tug in my parenting all the time. In this episode, I’m sharing some of what I’m learning about the hidden cost of rescuing, why the urge feels so strong, and a small practice that’s helping me (little by little) stay close without taking over.Disclaimer: The thoughts shared here come from my own parenting and faith journey.
