When the Head and the Heart are at War — Dr. Mark Crawford

Differentiating between Supporting and Enabling

As a parent, we have the best of intentions regarding our children (no matter how old they are). We want to support them, encourage them, protect them, and provide every opportunity for them to be successful. However, sometimes our heart doesn’t always guide us toward the best decision-making.

With the best of intentions to protect and help our kids, we sometimes unintentionally enable them to stay stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Join us for a discussion about how to recognize the difference between supporting vs. enabling our kids as well as how to make courageous decisions that may be necessary to help them get out of unhealthy patterns.
