Many parents today protect their kids to the extent that, as adults, they aren't prepared for the responsibilities of life. As we raise children, we should allow them to try things on their own, potentially failing, so they can learn and move forward with more confidence to handle things on their own. It can be difficult to watch your child fail or for them to do things more slowly or less efficiently than we would, but it is essential for their growth and competence.
