Make a commitment to yourself to never do for your child what they are capable of doing for themselves. I used to think I wasn't doing any harm by "Helping" to make things easier for my son. I have come to believe that in doing so I subconsciously was telling him even I didn't think he was capable. Trust the urge to bail out, to make things easier. I wish I had given my son the opportunity to solve more of his own problems.
