Why I Stopped "Saving" My Kids From Failing

from Oops, I Healed Again! · host Jenn & Suzanne

Are you helping your kids… or protecting yourself from discomfort? In this episode, we talk about the hard and humbling truth of letting our kids fail, why perfectionism often hides behind "good parenting," and what happens when you finally take your hands off the wheel. We share stories about grade battles, missed assignments, awkward conversations with teachers and coaches, and the unexpected gifts of watching your kids figure it out on their own. Tune in and find out why failure is the most powerful parenting tool you're not using.   Highlights Why letting your kids fail is the most loving thing you can do. What happened when we stopped checking every assignment. The difference between supporting vs. saving. How letting go of control helped our kids (and us) grow. A simple question to help you pause before you "rescue".   Resources + Links Watch the podcast on YouTube   Follow Us Jenn Shaw Jones - Jennerational Healing Founder of Jennerational Healing and a Teen Communication & Identity Coach for Moms.
