Excellent Advice for Living
Kevin Kelly
This hot emotional state is called tilt. When on tilt, you’re more likely to make decisions that make a bad situation worse.
The second rule of thumb is that once you give your child space to solve his own problems, you must not be overly critical of his attempts. He will surely make some bad starts and handle some situations poorly. But if you come down too hard, he will stop trying. As your child begins to learn these skills, keep your eye on the process rather than on the outcome. If he approaches the problem well but things don't work out as planned, compliment him on the steps he took and then help him evaluate where things went awry.
