As a parent trainer I am now dealing with helicopter parents﹣ the ones who1 all the difficulties and make it smooth sailing for their kids. Sometimes watching kids 2 without jumping in to fix it for them is the 3 thing parents can do. I appreciate someone who knows when it is time to let kids struggle a little 4 that's real life and Mom (or Dad) won't always be there to give help. So, let kids 5real life and grow up by failing, keeping on trying, never giving up and sometimes 6 learning from making mistakes.7 other words, parents have to be comfortable with the idea of allowing kids to fail as part of the learning 8.What matters in learning? It isn't about whether or not it is perfect or correct. It matters whether or not kids have9to go to places, to see things, to play, to inquire and so on. That is what I think10should do for kids: give them time to be kids: give them chances to grow up and experience life themselves.
