Video insights

@mike_on_parenting's TikTok video "We all want to help our kids. But sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is not help right away. When your child asks, “Where’s my homework?” or “Can you help me find my hair clip?” it’s tempting to immediately jump in and solve it. Instead try… “Where have you already looked?” That simple question puts some of the problem-solving back in their hands. Because we’re not just raising kids who need us right now… we’re raising future adults who will need to know how to think, problem-solve, persist, and figure things out. We can still help. We just don’t have to do it for them. Building skills creates independence. Solving every problem for them creates dependency. And yes… sometimes it’s okay to just find the backpack for them! 😂 #parentingadvice #parentingtips #positiveparenting #parentcoach #parentingsupport parenting strategy, parent tips, raising kids" has 5,847 views, 373 likes, 10 comments, 98 shares in the public metrics captured by this index.
