[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid's 4 and I don't bail him out. By which I mean, i have made the choice now not to view his mistakes as my problem. I am here for him to offer advice, support, coaching, sounding board, resources, etc., but ultimately I try to let him take the lead with problem solving. I am hyper aware of this, because I watched as my (now 26) stepson went through late childhood/adolesence/early adulthood and his mom bailed him out every time. It wasn't until he was convicted on some drug charges and she COULDN'T bail him out that he finally started to turn around. I won't let that happen to my son.[/quote] And that would be two extremes. As usual, the answer is more likely somewhere in the middle (as it sounds OP is doing). [/quote]
