00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:09,900
How much should parents intervene in their 
children’s lives?

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,500
Whether it’s financing shortfalls or filling 
in communication gaps,

3
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,600
rescuing the day with short-term “fixes” 
does nothing for the long-term wellbeing 
of your children.

4
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:27,400
Psychologist Erik Fisher stated, “It’s good 
for parents to not always step in.

5
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:31,600
If we do, our children think they have to 
learn everything from us.”

6
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:39,400
Author Jessica Lahey agreed: “Give your kids 
the opportunity to find out what they're 
able to do on their own.”

7
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:43,600
Remember, your goal as a parent isn’t to 
raise perfect children.

8
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:50,300
Your goal is to raise children who can think 
critically, deal well with their imperfections,

9
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:56,400
and successfully navigate our imperfect world.
