@drbeckyatgoodinside: This is one of those ideas that sounds simple but is hard to live. So many of us grew up feeling okay only when we were doing well, and we carry that into how we parent without meaning to. I've had to work on this myself, noticing when I rush in to make something easier just so my kid doesn't have to feel bad. What this looks like day to day is pretty ordinary. It's letting your kid be frustrated at the piano without jumping in to fix it. It's not reassuring "you're so good at this" right after they struggle, and maybe just sitting next to them while it feels hard. It's letting the thing they're new at stay a little uncomfortable for a bit, because that feeling is where they learn they can be not good at something and still be totally fine being them. Where do you find it hardest to let your kid struggle? I'd love to hear in the comments.
