They develop interests that may reflect their personality – not necessarily yours

As we said earlier this week, a key step is to ensure that you as a parent don’t withdraw even if it feels like your son or daughter is withdrawing from you. And I made some other shifts that helped.

Setting limits can be tough for several reasons. Sometimes parents feel guilty about saying no. Or, they want to avoid a temper tantrum that will surely erupt when a child is told of a limit. And of course, partners don't always agree on what limits to set with kids.
