It is tempting for parents to assume ownership and responsibility for everything that goes on in the life of their child. However, when the parent jumps in too soon to solve the problem or give the answer, the child never learns to trust his own judgment and become a critical thinker. Look at the list of situations and see if you can figure out, who owns the problem?

We decided years ago that if we were going to do projects together, we needed to refrain from judging the perceived weaknesses and respect the strengths of each other. So we allow only one raised eyebrow or hands in the air in the presence of the other person per hour. We have stopped trying to convert the other one to our way of thinking and our method of painting. We each just do our own thing and connect on the really important stuff like using blue cheese salad dressing and commitment to each other.
