On Empowering

We can empower our spirited boys by making sure they feel our confidence in their ability to solve a problem.
The clear message that "You have a problem; I know you can solve it" must permeate the air as we reflect our faith in their capability.

We run the risk of destroying their sense of self-worth by inadvertently sending the message, "You have a problem, but I don't think (or I'm not sure) you can solve it."

This mind-set for a parent often takes a lot of practice and conscious effort but is well worth the pursuit.
