#9 of Pam Sorooshian's "how to"
Sandra Dodd
9. We can't always fix everything for our kids or save them from
every hurt. It can be a delicate balancing act�when should we
intervene, when should we stay out of the way? Empathy goes a long
long way and may often be all your child needs or wants. Be available
to offer more, but let your child be your guide. Maybe your child
wants guidance, ideas, support, or intervention. Maybe not. Sometimes
the best thing you can offer is distraction.
