Stop Doing Everything for Your Kids | Jordan Peterson #paenting #psychology #children #shorts

Don't do anything for anyone that they can do themselves. It's a rule that's designed so that you can [music] foster independence and support it. And compliment the person that you're dealing [music] with by recognizing their competence. When you spoil a child, so to speak, what you do is you take away from them the opportunity to

develop their own competence by doing too many things for them. And what that means is that they stay overgrown children. [music] And you might say, "Well, what's wrong with that? Doesn't it mean that I love them?" And it doesn't mean that at all. It means that you are so conflict averse or so afraid

of losing them because they become independent and go away that you are interfering with their development.
