- Be available: Respond sensitively to their distress, allow
them to be dependent on you when they feel the need,
check in with them from time to time, and provide
comfort when things go wrong. - Don’t interfere: Provide behind-the-scenes support for
their endeavors. Help in a way that leaves them with the
initiative and the feeling of power. Allow them to do their
own thing without trying to take over the situation,
micromanage, or undermine their confidence and
abilities. - Encourage: Provide encouragement and be accepting
of their learning and personal growth goals. Boost their
self-esteem.
