  • 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.
