This week, I’m sharing Mistake #12: I Wanted to Help So Much, I Stopped Listening. I have always wanted to help, fix, guide, and make things better, but sometimes that meant I was too quick to step in with advice instead of simply listening. In this episode, I talk about learning to resist the urge to take over, make room for my child’s experience, and remember that not every hard moment needs a lesson.
