Deep dives

Encouraging Independence

Parents should avoid excessively helping their children with tasks, as it can foster dependence and hinder the development of self-sufficiency. The podcast highlights the concept of 'start-my-orange-for-me generation,' where children rely on parents even for simple tasks like peeling an orange. This behavior, rooted in various factors like narcissism, fear, and love, can lead to learned helplessness and resentment. Instead, parents should empower their children by teaching, encouraging, and setting expectations for them, fostering independence.
