Why We Should Allow Children to Learn Tough Lessons

We need to allow our children to learn, mature, and take responsibility for their actions and decisions – or lack thereof.

What Can You Do?

Let your kids grow up and become responsible.

Don’t remind them 6 times that it’s time to get up for the day. Buy them an alarm clock, or wake them up once.

As they get older, don’t tell them to wear a coat. They can figure out it’s cold outside.
