Prepare and Protect
Manage episode 294112356 series 2926588
It is scary to turn the kids lose to do new things on their own. Does it make any sense to try to be there to protect them from every hazard or potential pitfall? Should we just do everything we can for them to keep them safe, or to make it easier? Do we rob them of valuable experience if we protect them too much?
Joseph and Taylor discuss 2 of the roles of parents.
1) Preparing our kids for life by letting them learn how on their own.
2) Protecting them from the challenges, bumps, bruises, and disappointments of life.
The dads explore the balance between protecting kids from getting hurt, failing, or struggling; and letting them fail and struggle so they can learn, and be better prepared for life.
