Teaching Humanity Remotely with Dr. Mindy Shaw - Ep. 76

On this episode, Dr. Shaw tackles a delicate subject and that is the balance between being a helper to your child and being an enabler.  While this discussion was inspired by a friend with a child that's well beyond their elementary school years, the framework for creating a relationship with your child whereby behavioral boundaries are set can begin quite early on.  We've all heard the expression "tough love," and Dr. Shaw actually uses the phrase "firm love" to define the kind of socialization that many children require.  This is a brief but meaningful discussion about a complex subject that can be confusing to some parents, but Dr. Shaw sheds light on the dilemma and on what's needed in terms of parental action.
