[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 146369"] This is a topic that is almost always on my mind and I know I've talked about it on here before. There is a fine line between helping and hindering. Only you can decide where that line is with your child. When I find myself doing things because it's just easier for [I]me[/I] right now but really isn't helping difficult child in the long run, I check myself. Or if I find myself trying to 'fix' things for difficult child that really aren't mine to fix because it hurts me to watch her struggle. That struggle is where the growth and learning comes in. At that point, I have to change from fixing to supporting. As far as support, all children need to know they have a place where they are safe...their own soft place to land. [/QUOTE]
