How Much Should I Push My Child?

Welcome back to Unscripted Parent Coaching Sessions With Chinyelu! In this episode, I speak with a mom of one navigating the delicate balance of encouraging her dreamy 9-year-old toward more independence without pushing too hard. As her child moves through the 9-year change, she’s noticing resistance, slow transitions, and moments that trigger her own frustrations. Together, we explore how to gently support independence while honoring her child’s natural pace.
