Day 40 - Encouraging Responsibility
Training our children for healthy independence
• we don't own our children
• we are helping our children move from parental control to self-control
• letting them go can be hard for parents
• a gradual process over eighteen years
• allow them to make their own decisions and learn from their own mistakes
• unhealthy control can be caused by wanting to look good, fear of failure, stress, or perfectionism
Question:
How can you allow your children to learn from their mistakes while still protecting them sufficiently?

8. Work together
When both parents are involved:
- agree on a strategy (may require compromise)
- be consistent
- support each other
Can you think of an issue where you could work together more effectively as parents? Discuss the issue and try to agree on a joint approach. Brainstorm and write down a few ideas. Then choose one to try out, and review it after a few days or weeks.
