[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 764498, member: 4152"] Happy New Year! When our child was in Kindergarten, a teacher told me to "run interference" for her. I, at the time, thought it good advice. Hmm. Maybe for some children. And maybe for the primary grades? I don't know. As our children get older, definitely NOT so much. I don't know the right answer. I don't know how to gently lead them without enabling them and without straining ourselves. The worst part is frequent helping doesn't seem to help and often actually harms. I think often it's the school of hard knocks that help some people see the light. Find the inner strength to do better. Today, we still do some "running of interference" but have mostly limited it to medical needs. These things are often very tough calls with perhaps no true right or wrong answer. (hugs) [/QUOTE]
